Riders arrived on cool and breezy, but sunny, morning and established the flag line.  Eventually one of the sons arrived and thanked the riders for being there to honor his father.  

Once the service began the flag line was taken down and the riders waited for the end of the service.  After the service the riders stood the line, rendering honors, as SSgt. Franks was moved to the coach for the trip to Gatesville.  Nearly all of family went to each rider to express their appreciation.  The riders were then dismissed where they left as a group for the next mission in Keller.
