Riders met at the Buc-ee's and set flags. Riders were briefed about our hero and the day's mission. PGR stood tall and silent and then rendered honors as the procession from Oklahoma entered the fuel station.
After the family, friends and other PGR refueled, we gathered near our support vehicle and the certificate of appreciation was presented to two of Bill Olsen's sons. We were also honored to meet George Banks, a friend of Bill's, and the last remaining of the “Three Musketeers” as they were called  at the Burnett VFW. I presented him with a TXPGR challenge coin. PGR that were not continuing on joined the group there and stood together on the flagline to render honors as the procession departed. PGR was assisted in leaving the station and getting onto the highway by Fort Worth Police officer (Army Veteran) Ramirez and a professional escort rider “Lazlo” who graciously donated their time to help. Lazlo rode up and met the procession as they entered into Texas and led the procession to us and then all the way through Fort Worth. South of Fort Worth he hurried ahead of us and was standing and rendering honors to Mr. Olsen's procession near Alvarado as we passed. Thank you so much Lazlo and Officer Ramirez!
Part Two,
PGR set flags, then stood and rendered honors as the procession entered the fuel station in West. Riders refueled and then gathered to say goodbye to those of us not continuing on, two NTXPGR riders continued on to the final destination with the Olsen family and friends. Riders at both locations returned the flags to the support vehicles were debriefed and dismissed once the procession departed.
