Members of the American Legion Riders Post 172 of Clinton escorted the funeral procession of Ralph Edwin Hackworth last Thursday. The unit acts as an escort for veterans and first responders upon request from the family. Jerry Dehart, president of the unit, said Hackworth was an “original” Navy Seal. “He was a frogman, underwater demolition … One of the first Seals.”
