Mission complete.  The Riders staged near the First Baptist Church of Farmersville.  After the information booth was set up, Riders were briefed about the day’s events and parade route and given a safety briefing.  Veteran registration and breakfast was provided in the church facility.  Riders staged for the parade and after a “fly over” by the Commemorative Air Force and arrival of a Huey, the parade began.  Numerous floats were provided by the organizers for veterans to ride on during the parade.  At the completion of the parade a patriotic ceremony was held at the “Onion Shed”.  After the parade, the booth was packed and the remaining riders departed.  Thanks to Howard and Sue for bringing the information booth. The 17th Annual Audie Murphy Day in Farmersville was a refreshing reminder of American patriotism and honored not only Audie Murphy but all veterans.
