It started Sunday morning with a police helicopter flyover followed by a parade of armored vehicles, patrol cars and fire engines slowly streaming through a residential neighborhood in Simi Valley.
More than two hours later, a line of cars continued to pass by a house on Katherine Road with flags waving and horns honking to honor a fallen Marine.
Gunnery Sgt. Diego Pongo, 34, of Simi Valley was killed on March 8 in Iraq during a mission against an Islamic State group stronghold, the Defense Department reported. Also killed during the mission was Capt. Moises Navas, 34, of Maryland. Both were assigned to 2nd Marine Raider Battalion as part of Operation Inherent Resolve.
