We set our flag line to cover both entrances of the funeral home, for the Memorial Service. 2 of our members manned the doors. Many of the mourners thanked us and some made it a point to shake all of the PGR members hands. When the Memorial Service started, we relocated to the adjacent cemetery and planned our graveside support.  I took 4 PGR members back to the funeral home to honor SPC Mathis as he was transported to the caisson. 2 black Percheron horses pulled the caisson to the grave site. We formed a corridor for the Army Honor Guard pallbearers, then enclosed the mourners with our circle of flags. The family was very pleased with our support and many of the mourners expressed their appreciation again at graveside. We had first-timers, Gold Star parents, and members that I have known since April of 2006. Special thanks to Dewey Dyer for bringing flags, Gary Hill for his photography services, and the PGR member whom brought additional water. Thank you to Kroger Supermarket in Allen for donating 4 cases of water...and finally Chuck Pennington for the loan of a huge marine cooler and ice.
