MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: The North Texas Patriot Guard Riders stood tall and silent for this American Hero, Ward Ericson. We honored his life, service and family with a flag line at Moore Bowen Road Funeral Home followed by a funeral procession to DFW National Cemetery where a flag line was established at Shelter C. During the interment service an impromptu fly-over of vintage warbirds from the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, Addison, Texas occurred adding to the patriotic flavor of the interment service. The vintage aircraft consisted of a C7 Caribou, 4 AT-6 aircraft and an AD-1 Skyraider flying in close formation low over DFW National Cemetery positioning themselves to conduct a fly-over for Texas Rangers opening day ceremonies at the Ballpark in Arlington.
