Ross Perot’s funeral will be an invitation-only event, however there will be live streamed today at 2 p.m. for the public. According to the memorials website, a graveside service Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. will be followed by a memorial service at Highland Park Methodist Church. CBS 11 reported that at the graveside service, the U.S. Air Force will conduct an F-16 flyover in the missing man formation, to celebrate Perot’s longtime support of veterans and the military.
