Riders met at the visitors center for the briefing and big flag bikes were assigned to escort the family to the shelter. Seven ride captains were present and assigned to take 3 students each to provide the guidance and information to the kids.  Just as the riders were leaving for the shelter the bus of students was pulling up to the visitors center.  The bus and riders then moved to shelter B to prepare the flag line and wait for the family to arrive.  As the family arrived they found riders and 22 students standing tall and silent on the flag line.  Riders were also asked to serve as pall bearers for Mr. Drye, an honor for us.  The plaque was presented by the Ride Captain earlier at the funeral home.

As the service began the riders and students moved to surround the family.  The Air Force Honor Guard folded and presented the flag to the three daughters.  As the flag was presented to the oldest daughter, with one sister on each side, the Sergeant took the hands of the sisters and placed them on the flag before making the presentation speech.

At the conclusion of the service the family asked that the students also sign the guest book.  So as the flags were being stored the kids lined up and each signed the book, as did the riders.

Once the family had departed the riders were debriefed and the students allowed to ask questions.  The Honor Guard returned to also meet with the kids and answer questions.

The bus and several ride captains then went to the Admin building where a few of the key graves were explained.  Hero's like the men from Red River 44 and Col. Stone, Medal of Honor recipient, and KIA/POW's were shown.  Two cemetery reps also provided an explanation of the cemetery.  The kids were allowed to wander the markers before posing for pictures with the riders.
