The mission began with riders standing the flag line in cloudy skies and threatening rain.  Two riders pulled up to the doors and began to wipe the rain from the bikes.  These bikes belonged to Bryan and Ashley.  When dry, the motorcycles were moved into the lobby with Bryan's gear placed on his.

Bryan's mother gave everyone a dime.  The story was that she found a dime in the dirt at Ft. Hood before he deployed the first time.  She gave it to Bryan and told him that when he saw the dime, she was thinking of him.

After a few hours, the rain came down and the riders were moved inside to stand in the lobby.  Once the service began, the flag line was taken down and the riders dismissed.
