MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - Once again the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders stood tall and silent for Howard Henry Clippard, Sr. Today's celebration of life was an outstanding tribute to a man who served his country during the closing months of World War II in the 82d Airborne Division and went on to retire from the U.S. Air Force. We honored his life and service with by accompanying he and his family from Green Funeral Home in Ferris, to his final rest at DFW National Cemetery where a Flag Line was already awaiting us. A huge thanks goes to all the Riders who turned out, to David Smith for providing water and Jack Brandon for serving as the Mission Ride Co-Captain.
