The morning weather was much improved over the arrival mission the previous day.  Four big flag bikes and a big flag truck arrived at the funeral home at 915am to escort Sgt. Aceves to the church.  After paying our respects to Sgt. Aceves, we departed with an LEO escort.  The 6 mile ride saw many vehicles pull to the side as we passed.

We arrived at the church for visitation and the funeral service where other riders had set up flags.  Riders stood tall and silent for this hero as he was moved into the church.  

Shortly thereafter, we dispatched 4 big flag bikes and LEO escort to pick up the family at their home.  They returned to the church about 1145am, just prior to the start of the funeral service.  When the family exited the limousine, the four young children were all wearing camo uniforms.  There was not a dry eye among the PGR. 

As the PGR stood silently, Dallas PD arrived with about 15 motorcycle officers to provide the escort to the cemetery.  The DPD also provided officers to block the streets near the church for assuring easy departure.

When the service ended, the PGR prepared for departure.  Twenty four bikes and 3 cages, including the big flag truck, lead the procession followed by many of the family friends vehicles.

Dallas PD provided excellent support as they closed the highways to all traffic as the motorcade proceeded to DFW National Cemetery.  Again, many vehicles were observed stopped and some drivers standing at attention, saluting. 

The procession arrived at the cemetery, shelter B, where other riders were standing by the flags placed earlier.  All stood silent as the Army General presented flags to all 6 children and mothers.  Ride captains presented plaques to the mothers and PGR coins to all the children.

The service concluded and the family expressed their gratitude to the PGR for their efforts.
