Nine riders stood the flag line at the funeral home for the funeral service.  Two riders remained with big flags to take part in the procession with the coach.  The procession was protected by 6 Police vehicles who closed off I-20 to all traffic.  

Other riders staged at the cemetery for the briefing and were quickly sent to prepare shelter A.  We had been informed that as soon as the procession arrived they would immediately be taken for the service.  This was due to heavy load of services to be performed today.

The family arrived at shelter A where the DFW Honor Guard performed the rifle squad duties and the Army Honor Guard folded and presented the flag to Mr.Dilbeck's daughter. 

One of the guests wore a WWII ball cap.  He was asked if he served with Mr. Dilbeck.  He said yes and that he had been wounded and then assigned to Gen. Patton after being released from the hospital.  I was a pleasure to talk with another hero from WWII.

 At the conclusion of the service the flags were furled and the riders dismissed.
