Funeral and Interment Services:   Seven riders participated including three ride captains and two flag support personnel.  After the briefing doors were manned as family and guests arrived for the funeral service.  The Certificate of Appreciation was presented to his mother and father prior to the start of the service in the area where the family was assembled.  After the service began, flags were removed to the burial site.  Honor Bike riders along with a number of Allen PD Personnel and eight of his shipmates rendered honors, as SN Collins was moved to the coach.  Three honor bikes then rode in front of the coach as the procession wound its way to the burial site located adjacent to the funeral home.  Full military honors were rendered by the U.S. Navy Honor Guard.  The flags were presented to both parents by CPO Jessica Foster, under whose leadership SN Collins served on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln CVS 72, and who had accompanied his remains on the flight from Norfolk to DFW. 
Challenges coins were presented privately by the Mission RC to CPO Foster and CPO Noack in gratitude for services rendered to the family of SN Collins.
At the conclusion of the service, flags were returned to the flag support vehicle and riders were debriefed and dismissed.  Once again, special thanks to the riders who stood tall and silent on a very hot and humid day.
