MISSION ACOMPLISHED: The North Texas Patriot Guard Riders staged at the Dallas Police Station at Love Airfield in Dallas. One support person provided water and snacks to fortify the riders for the 75 mile procession to Canton, TX on a very warm day.  After the briefing and rider safety briefing, Dallas Sheriff's Officers were coordinated with as to the safest route from Love Field and to the eastern boundary of Dallas County.  There we were to join up with the Kaufman and Van Zandt County officers for escort into Canton.  The East Texas Patriot Guard Riders were to assemble there and continue with part 2 of the mission in taking PVT Miles to his hometown of Longview, TX.
The procession arrived safely and without incident in Canton to a large contingent of East Texas Patriot Guard Riders.  After a short break and refueling, we turned the mission over to the East Texas group.  A short debriefing was held and the riders dismissed.
