OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - A public visitation for Cpl. Daegan Page will be held Sept. 16 from 5-8 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church at 13271 Millard Avenue in Omaha.
Those who attend are asked to follow the posted signs and enter through Door A.
The Page family says his funeral is still planned for Sept. 17 at 10 a.m., also at the St. Paul Lutheran Church. The main sanctuary will be reserved for friends and family. Seating for the general public is very limited.
