The riders staged at the Ideal Self Storage parking lot in Corsicana.  After the mission and safety brief, we awaited the arrival of the Corsicana Parks Superintendent. He provided directions to leave the staging area to arrive just before the ceremonies began.  Upon arrival, we parked the bikes and trikes in a reserved area near the head table and joined the audience.  Opening ceremonies included a “fly over”, presentation of colors by the Ft. Hood Ceremonial Honor Guard, and remarks by local, state and national officials.  Prior to unveiling of the bronze statue, the Medal of Honor citation for Sgt. Garcia was read followed by a rifle salute and TAPS. The program concluded and the colors were retired by the honor guard.
