PT: 1After the flags were posted, we held our briefing and stood the flag line for the arrival of the family and friends. A few minutes before the service started we presented the North Texas Plaque to Mrs. Patterson. We told her what a honor it was for us to be able to honor this hero. We told Mrs. Patterson that when they arrive at DFW National Cemetery information center, we would meet them there. After the service started we removed the flag line and stowed them in the support vehicle. We held a debrief and had a prayer for the family and safe ride for the PGR.
PT: 2 When the family arrived at DFW Cemetery we assigned honor bikes to escort SP5 Robert Gregory Patterson to the assigned shelter. The flags had been posted and the PGR was standing tall and silent for the arrival of this hero, family and friends. After the service we removed the flags, had a debrief, prayer for the family and a safe ride home for the PGR.
