More than 400 people lined the streets of Coeur d’Alene on Friday afternoon to pay their respects to Spc. Nicholas W. Newby, one of two Coeur d’Alene soldiers killed recently in Iraq. They started showing up more than two hours before the military procession passed by, escorting Newby’s remains to a downtown funeral home. They ranged in age from babies to a World War II veteran. By the time the procession passed the street outside Lake City High School, Newby’s alma mater, it was a tunnel of American flags, signs with good wishes, and veterans saluting/Alison Boggs, SR.
