Today the Patriot Guard Riders were honored to be invited by the family of James Bonner to stand "tall and silent" at his memorial service held at the First United Methodist Church, DeSoto, TX.  After the mission briefing and just prior to the service, the Certificate of Appreciation was presented to James’s next of kin, Mary and at the beginning of the service we folded and presented the American flag to her.  At the conclusion of this presentation, the riders returned the flags to the support vehicle, furled and stowed them, were debriefed and dismissed.
