We had two early morning missions today scheduled within 15 minutes of each other.  All riders met at the Visitors Information building where the first mission ride captain briefed his veteran's life story and explained his mission.  Then SGT York's ride captain briefed the life and service of Mr. York.  The riders were then split up and Honor Bikes assigned as escorts to the shelters for both missions.  The riders were then dispersed to the two shelters to prepare the flag lines.  

As the York family arrived at shelter B they were greeted by the flag line and riders standing tall.  The Air Force Honor Guard performed the military honors, presenting the flag to Mrs. York.  At the conclusion of the service the riders furled the flags and prepared to stand yet another mission at shelter D at 1100.

While waiting at shelter D, the York family arrived to see where SGT York was placed.  The ride captain escorted Mrs. York to see the location on the columbarium.
