Patriot Guard Riders staged at the Martin Thompson and Son Funeral Home to honor TSgt Russell Elkin Jr., an Army Air Corps Veteran.  Flags were set, a briefing held and then riders stood tall and silent in honor of TSgt. Elkin.  The ride captain presented the North Texas Patriot Guard Certificate to the Elkin family prior to the service.  When the service started, flags were furled and stowed. Riders who were not riding in the procession were dismissed.   Mike Moore conducted a safety briefing for the riders who were riding in the procession.  I rode to Laurel Land Cemetery where I conducted a briefing for the riders gathering there. When our hero arrived, Patriot Guard Riders assisted as pall bearers.  The flag was folded by Tommy Brock and Rick Crabb.  Rick then presented the flag to Mrs. Dorothy Elkin.  After the briefing, riders set the flags.  When TSgt. Elkin, family and friends arrived at the cemetery, Patriot Guard Riders stood tall and silent in his honor.   After this service, flags were stowed, riders debriefed and dismissed.
