This mission came up just before the first regularly scheduled mission of the day.  The ride captain received the information via text and the Deputy State Captain prepared the mission itinerary and also forwarded that to the ride captain.  After standing the flag line at the first mission for a while, the ride captain departed for the cemetery to prepare for Ms. Morris's mission.  At the visitors center the riders who showed up after the quick email were briefed that the service would be held at shelter D and that we were to go direct to the shelter.  The cemetery rep would bring Ms.Morris to the shelter.

Ten flags were set up at the shelter.  All riders became the family of Ms. Morris while the Army Honor Guard performed the military honors and presented the flag to one of our riders.  At the conclusion of the military honors the ride captain went forward to say a few words and offered a prayer for this veteran who is now with her fellow veterans.  As always, the North Texas Patriot Guard will hold the flag and attempt to find a family member of Ms. Morris so we can provide that flag to them. The flags were then furled and the riders dismissed.
