Part one of today's mission was to transfer Lt. Welch to Central Christian Church, located about 6 miles away.  Dallas DPD motorcycle escort arrived in their typical professional, highly coordinated, fashion, parking in unison and dismounting.

When the honor guard transferred Lt. Welch to the coach, riders stood silent and rendered honors.  Then, a few family members, the 16 PGR bikes and one big flag truck moved out for the drive to the church.  Traffic was stopped the entire route for a smooth and safe procession.  Upon arrival, the riders dismounted and moved to the flag line and rendered honors as the lieutenant was moved into the church.  Afterward, the riders were then advised to be ready to stand the flag line for the visitation portion of mission. 

The four hour flag line was manned by riders while a large number of visitors arrived during the entire period.  The parking lot was full the entire time with many friends still inside when the riders were dismissed.  We were told the doors finally closed at 10PM.
