The Patriot Guard Riders staged at the Dallas Army Aviation Support Facility hanger on Lakecrest Street. After a short wait, the hanger was opened and the Riders moved inside to interact with Family members and active duty personnel as they arrived for the ceremony. A static Flag Line was established on Lakecrest Street on both sides of the entrance to the hanger parking lot. As the buses arrived on the base grounds, the soldiers were greeted by American Flags flying in the wind. After the PGR were advised that the buses would arrive in fifteen minutes, the Riders procured Flags from the support vehicle and formed a Flag Line at the entrance to the hanger. The soldiers dismounted their buses and walked into the hanger through a Patriot Guard Rider Flag Line for the official welcome home by their Battalion Commander. After all soldiers had entered the hanger, Flags were furled and Riders dismissed.
