Riders staged at Trinity Park in Fort Worth at 06:45 at Pavilion #3. Before sunrise riders set flags lining the road near the walk starting point, registration tables and the stage. Ceremonies kicked off a little late.
The PGR riders were introduced and the Ride Captain, at the request of the organizers, read the "We are Patriot Guard Riders" poem and then led over 100 NAMI walkers in the Pledge of Allegiance. 
The riders exited the stage and the ceremonies continued. At 09:00 the walk began and after all walkers had left, the riders furled the flags and stowed them away. Riders were debriefed and released. Thanks to John Watts for his support.
