The Patriot Guard Riders stood tall and silent for the family of SPC Joel Ramirez,as his name was the first to go on the Memorial. The Mission was significant in that SPC Ramirez was the first native of Waxahachie to fall in combat since the Vietnam war.  We were there at the family's request.  We were also honored to be asked by the Color Guard to assist in the lowering of the school's four flags to half staff during the ceremony.
