Riders arrived, prepared the flag line, and took up their positions as the family arrived for the funeral service.  Some riders thought they were late because early arrivals were already on the line; they were not late.  The PGR was unaware of the visitation prior to the service so the flag line was manned as soon as it was determined that the visitation was beginning at 1130.  Once the funeral service began the flags were furled and stored.  Riders were allowed to go get a quick lunch and to return for the procession to the National Cemetery.  When the service was complete, riders rendered honors as Mr. Marchlinski was moved into the coach.  The procession to the cemetery was uneventful thanks to the escort service.  Upon arrival at the shelter the family was greeted by 40 riders and flags snapping in the wind.  Full military honors were provided for 1SG Marchlinski.
