The mission today was in honor of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer Billy M. Sparkman, Sr., a Vietnam Veteran. The mission began at Moore Funeral Home in Arlington, Texas.  Riders stood a flag line for arriving family and guests.  After the visitation/funeral service, the riders participated in the procession to DFW National Cemetery for the interment service.  A flag line was set at Shelter C where riders stood tall and silent.  The honor guard carried CPO Sparkman to the front of the shelter, folded the flag, fired three volleys of rifle fire, taps were played, the flag and three empty casings were presented to Mrs. Sparkman followed by the presentation of the PGR plaque.

As the riders passed on their condolences, many of the family and friends expressed their gratitude for the PGR's presence.

Mission Accomplished.
