The Patriot Guard Riders staged in the parking lot of DFW Int’l Airport-Corporate Aviation. Due to the cool, damp conditions, the folks at Corporate Aviation were gracious enough to allow us to use their break room for warming and briefing. Prior to the arrival of the “Angel Flight”, the Riders staged their bikes for the Procession. The Patriot Guard Riders stood Honors as the transfer of SSgt Viola was conducted by the United States Army Honor Guard consisting of members of SSgt Viola’s 7th SFG (A) Unit, Eglin AFB, FL. The Keller Fire Department Honor Guard was also present with the Family planeside during the transfer. The Procession proceeded from DFW Int’l Airport to Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home, Colleyville. The Patriot Guard Riders were standing the Flag Line when the Procession arrived. All Riders moved to the Chapel entrance and stood Honors for the transfer from the coach to the Chapel. When the Family had moved into the Chapel, Flags were furled and Riders dismissed. A special “Thank You” to the following for their support of this Mission: DFW Int’l Airport DPS, Grapevine Police Department Motor Officers, Colleyville Police Department, Keller Police Depart, Keller Fire Department, North Texas Motorcade.
