The mission began at the church with 6 motorcycles and 5 cages.  We posted the flags on time and greeted family members and friends as they arrived.  
   Once the service began we took down the flags and prepared for the procession to DFW.  During the rider brief it was determined that 5 bikes and two cages would be in procession.  There were 4 big flag bikes and the two trucks both had big flags waving. This may seem like a low number for typical mission but the temperature was 24F when we first arrived and had not warmed up much by departure time.
   The procession departed for the cemetery with riders paying close attention to potential ice on the road.  Upon arrival at DFW, more riders had already placed the flags at the shelter.
