Over 20 Patriot Guard Riders staged Gateway Church in Grand Prairie to honor fellow Patriot Guard Rider Everett “Rick” Atkins III.  Flags were set, mission briefing held and riders stood the flag line in honor of Rick and his service with the Patriot Guard, honoring fallen veterans. Once again, PGR stepped up and assisted when asked to stand in as pallbearer prior to the service.  After the service started, flags were furled and riders dismissed until later in the day to reform at Moore Cemetery in Arlington for Rider Rick Atkins’ interment.  Many thanks, to the three support personnel who were at the service.  One was on mission and the other two came to assist, bringing hot coffee, chocolate, doughnuts and cookies for the riders standing in the cold rains.  We that stand the line, salute you.  Patriot Guard Riders reformed at the cemetery, set flags and stood tall in silent for Rick’s interment service.  Additional riders joined them for this part of the mission.
