  This was the first PGR mission in Bowie, Texas and both the family and the town were very appreciative. We would also like to thank the DFW area riders who came out to assist the Wichita Falls area riders in this mission, one of whom it turned out, actually served with Spc Perkins in Viet Nam. This started out to be rather unorthodox as there was no gravesite or location set for the ceremony. After a discussion with Spec Perkins, we decided to stage around the cemetery flagpole and as it turned out, it was a very moving ceremony.
