Riders began arriving at 08:00.  Early arrivals got to help with the flag line.  I held a riders briefing at 08:45 and we manned the flag line at the event entrance.  At 09:30 the event began with a flag raising and bringing it to half mast.  There were several speakers talking about what Memoriad Day ment. I spoke about the history of the PGR.
 Charlie Harris sang the song that several singers made famous about what was at the Vietnam Wall, 50,000 names.  Very moving.  A fly-over came as the event ended.
