After setting flags and holding the mission brief, the riders manned the flag line to receive the family and guests of Merlan Perrin.  Once the service started the flags were retrieved, furled and stowed in the support vehicle.  Riders not participating in the procession continued on to DFW National for the interment portion of the mission.  John Blase gave the safety brief to those riding in the procession.

Once again, the mission brief was given at the Visitors Center for those who were not able to attend the funeral portion of the mission.  After the completion of the mission brief, all riders proceeded on to Shelter B to prepare for the arrival of Merlan Perrin, his family and friends.   At the conclusion of the committal service the flags were once again retrieved, furled, and placed in the shelter storage.  After the post mission brief the riders were dismissed.

Thank you to John Blase for covering the procession from Golden Gate FH to DFW National; to Randy and Nicki Smith for providing flags and water for all of us; and to Erna Carlile for taking the pictures.  And a big thank you to all the riders who joined us today, the family loved it.
