It was an honor to be the ride captain for Mr. Lambert and family. With the great support from those that were able to make the visitation on Monday and service on Tuesday, you have my sincere appreciation. Monday, under the tears from heaven we stood the flag line and shared our condolences with the family and friends during the visitation. We removed our caps as Winnie and Mike shared their thoughts and appreciation to all of us for being there and said ”It is different being on this side of the flag line”.  Monday night I prayed - please give us a break in the weather on Tuesday for the family and the safety of the riders. Tuesday morning driving to the church in the rain, I looked up and said “please stop raining". As we approached the church the rain had stopped. We staged the motorcycles in front of the coach for the escort to DFW. Four riders escorted the family to the church. As the family entered the parking lot the PGR stood tall to show how much we care and love this family. As the family got out of their car’s and turned back to the riders who stood for them, there now was two lines of flags and riders facing them. The riders walked the flag line up and around the family as they entered the church. During the service Winnie had reserved seats for the PGR. Grand Prairie police did a great job escorting this American Hero and fellow officer. At DFW the flags were in place with the sound of the Liberty bell ringing as the family arrived. Full honors were given to Mr. Lambert with the folding of the American Flag, Rifle Volley, and the heartfelt playing of Taps. The PGR presented the family with plague’s and items of remembrance for this day of honor. At the closing of the service the PGR was recognized and it was appreciated by all. 

By the time  the service was over, it was Hot. I believe it was God reminding me that I may have been the ride captain for this mission, but he was still in charge, and that prayers will be answered. Mission Complete
