Riders began to arrive early, as usual, and were parked on the cul du sac facing the runway.  Landmark Aviation provided coffee, popcorn, and sweet rolls to any rider who wished to partake in the goodies.  When Dallas and Mesquite Police Departments arrived final details for the formation were completed, after which the safety briefing was held for the riders.  Several recent Gold Star Families and new riders were recognized. Shortly thereafter, the family, escorted by many Mesquite PD cars, arrived and prepared for the arrival of SSG Border.  The charter aircraft arrived on time and received a Dallas Fire water cannon arch as it taxied on to its parking space.  The Honor Guard, made up from SSG Border's unit, marched out to the aircraft and made the dignified transfer to the coach.  Many airport employees could be seen standing at attention on the opposite side of the aircraft from the waiting PGR.  Riders rendered honors during the transfer and then returned to their motorcycles to prepare for the procession.  The procession departed the airport under the careful protection of eight Mesquite police cars.  The procession to the funeral home was uneventful.  Upon arrival at the funeral home, riders prepared to render honors during the transfer only to find out that SSG Border and family were taken to a private area.  The riders were then debriefed and a prayer said for safe travel, and then dismissed.
