The riders staged at White's Funeral Home and prepared the flag line. As usual when we are here, we were given coffee and fresh homemade pumpkin bread, still warm from the oven, as we waited for the family to arrive.

Riders paid their respects to LTC Griffith and took up positions on the flag line as the family arrived.  Parking here is difficult and we assisted as needed with parking cars.

Once the service began we furled the flags and departed for Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth.  Here five riders prepared the flag line and waited for the our Hero to arrive.  The full Army Honor Guard prepared for his arrival. While we were still at the funeral home, an older gentleman asked if he could play taps at the cemetery.  His bugle was an actual Civil War bugle and he has played taps for 50 years.  I spoke to the Lieutenant in charge of the Honor Guard and set up the real taps vs the electronic version.  When it came time for taps to begin the bugler did great job and it sounded wonderful.  At the conclusion of the service we furled the flags and were dismissed.
