The Riders of the PGR stood a flag line at the entrance to Terrell ISD's Performing Arts Center - a very impressive facility.  Inside the Center, the Defenders of Freedom organization's "Remembering Our Fallen" display was arranged which contained photos and more of each of Texas' military members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

The Ceremony, itself, was attended by our Riders and a large number of Veterans from the area, accompanied by many students.  The program was MC'd by WFAA's John McCaa.  Following the Marine Corps League's Presentation of the Colors, we heard remarks from WWII Veteran James Crouch, THS Student Council President Enrique Gonzalez and U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling.  The keynote speaker was USN Viet Nam Veteran turned motivational speaker Dave Reover who spoke as much to and about the Veterans present, as he did to the attending students; very inspirational.  Throughout the program, the members of THS's choirs and orchestra entertained all those present with very professional performances.

After the program, our Riders spent some time reviewing the "Remembering Our Fallen" display and recognizing so many families we've come to know.
