Today, after the mission briefing, the Patriot Guard Riders assumed their position on the Flag Line and stood “tall and silent” during the funeral service of United States Army veteran, F.E. "Bubba" Hoefer, Jr. After the mission safety briefing and procession, we again stood in honor as Bubba was laid to rest at St. Joseph Cemetery.  The Certificate of Appreciation was presented to Margaret Hoefer, his daughter, at the visitation service last night at Keever Mortuary Chapel in Ennis, TX.  Special thanks to all of the Patriot Guard Riders who came to pay their respects, many who rode long distances to be there.  It is always a pleasure to have out-of-town PGR riders with us and of very special note, Megan Boulton, a PGR rider and resident of Utah, attended Bubba's service.  Thank you Rick for the pictures and, as always, to Randy & Nicki Smith for the flag support and water.
