Today we honored another member of the Greatest Generation as he went on his last mission.  The riders met at the visitors center for the briefing.  As we recited the Pledge of Allegiance, Mr. Funk's son walked up, pausing to recite the pledge also.  After thanking us he returned to his family and the riders departed to prepare shelter C. The ride captain remained behind to wait for the arrival of Mrs. Funk.  Once the family staged in lane C the plaque was presented to Mrs. Funk.  She spoke of her husbands service during the D-Day invasion and her gratitude for the Patriot Guard being with them today.  The DFW Honor Guard performed the military honors using a 48 star flag that belonged to PM3c Funk's father from WWI. A second flag, a 50 star, was also presented.  At the conclusion of the service the riders furled the flags and were dismissed.
