This mission was in honor of MSgt Donnie L. Mears who retired from the United States Marine Corps after twenty-three years of active duty service.   Riders staged at the First Baptist Church of Castle Hills in Azle, TX, set the flag line and stood tall and silent as family and guests arrived for the memorial service. Before the memorial service began, Polly Mears, MSgt Mears' mother, was presented with the PGR Plaque in appreciation for her son's service to our country. 

After the memorial service, the PGR led the funeral procession from the Church to the Ash Creek Cemetery in Azle, TX.  A flag line was set and riders once again stood tall and silent in honor and respect for MSgt Mears.  At the cemetery, MSgt Mears received full military honors by a United States Marine Corps Honor Guard.  Bagpipe and Taps were played by MSgt Doug Compton, USMC (Ret.),
