We gathered at the information center at DFW National Cemetery.  I held a briefing at about 1:25 PM.  We had one new rider to welcome into the fold.  I asked how many riders attended the earlier mission and counted about 14 raised hands.  After assigning escort riders to stage in lane A, I met with the Funeral Director, Larry Biggers, the minister, and the wife, Dora.  We then proceded to shelter A for the service.
