Riders met at the information center where they were briefed. A few riders were sent to shelter B to assist with another service that nearly coincided with the Ward mission.  Two big flag bikes provided the escort to the shelter. The remaining riders then went to shelter A to wait for the family.

The flag and PGR plaque were presented to Mr. Ward's youngest son, Bobby, a soldier assigned to Ft. Hood.  The family had asked the PGR to provide a chaplain; RC Bruce Lowe provided comforting words to the family as part of the service.  At the conclusion of the service the riders were dismissed with prayer.
