Our riders staged in town and were briefed on the nature of our mission which was to deliver a replacement honor flag to Mr. Barbour's son who has lost his fathers original flag in a recent house fire.He also lost his right leg below the knee due to injuries suffered in the fire as well as the family home.
We departed the station and rode six miles out in the country to the family property where fifteen plus family members were waiting outside as we rode up into the front yard. There was not a dry eye in the house as we dismounted, gathered our flag & certificate and made our way up to the family. After a few words to get acquainted Ride Captain Mike Moore read and presented Mr. Barbour our certificate of appreciation on behalf of his father. After which we presented his fathers new flag to him. All the riders greeted the family, we spoke a bit longer and then bid our farewell and departed back to the station to recover our bike flags, debrief and dismiss for home.
