We had 5 riders arrive at the church just about staging time due to the fact that there were accidents all over the area that morning!  We all helped set up the flags at the church and awaited the arrival of the family and friends of Mr. Rodriguez.  After the service began, we took down the flags, furled and returned them to the truck.  John Blase stayed at the church, along with Mark Merrick, to accompany the coach in the procession to DFW National.  Once the procession arrived at DFW, we presented the certificate to the widow, surrounded by her extended family, before proceeding to the shelter.  Military honors were rendered at the shelter, followed by a brief service.  At the conclusion of the service the flags were furled and returned to the shelter storage, the riders were briefed and dismissed.
