Riders arrived, parked, and then walked to the stage area.  We took up positions on one side of the audience near the front.  The cemetery had posted large flags throughout the cemetery and the Boy Scouts and others had placed small flags by each Veteran's Marker.  

After the introductions the Colors were posted, the Star Spangled Banner was sung, and all recited the Pledge of Allegiance.   A funeral home worked recited the poem Flanders Fields that brought tears to more than one guest. 
Wreaths were laid by each service and a wreath from the former Vietnamese Military was also placed.

One Rider was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.  He met a former Vietnamese helicopter pilot who flew in the same area.

The first speaker was Dr. Bao Vinh, born in Vietnam but came over with the boat people.  He is now working to pay back to his new country by getting involved in politics.

The main speaker was Marine Cpl. Mankin, a severely wounded Purple Heart Recipient.  He is a very good speaker and has dedicated his life to helping his fellow veterans.  His main thrust was "Serve, or Serve Those Who Served".

The ride captain introduced himself to Cpl. Mankin before the service began and gave him a Texas PGR Coin.

After the Arlington PD provided a 21 gun rifle salute, a bag piper, and the release of doves, we were dismissed.
