Today we stood for both a veteran and one of our own.  After posting 60 flags around the funeral home, riders were briefed and relaxed for a few minutes before taking up positions on the flag line.  

Riders greeted the family and friends with silent respect.  Mr. Poulson's daughter, Diana, arrived in her Dad's truck.  At her request, we mounted Bill's flags and moved the truck just behind the tail gunner's for the procession to DFW.

After the service began, we took down the flag line and relaxed again in the morning heat.  Just before 10AM we stood near the coach and rendered honors as Bill was moved into the coach.  Riders then moved to their bikes to prepare for the procession.   

The very long procession, with LOE support, progressed to DFW National without incident. Upon arrival, four big flag bikes and two tail gunners escorted our fellow rider to shelter B where the remaining riders waited.

The Honor Guard presented the family with the flag and shell casings and Bugles Across America played taps.  After the service ended, riders rendered honors as Bill was moved toward his final resting place.
