Riders staged at Mulkey-Mason Funeral Home in Lewisville.  A briefing was held at 12:15 pm.  During the briefing the family arrived.  The oldest son Joseph and his wife Neda came over to the riders to express their thanks to the Patriot Guard for honoring his father.  While they were there I presented the PGR placque to Joseph.
After the service began, we broke down the flag line and held a riders safety brief.  As the service ended we rendered honors and made ready for the procession to the cemetery.  The procession went well and upon arrival, we stood the flag line.  The service ended, we de-briefed and riders were dismissed.
