Four retired Air Force riders met at the family home to lead the family to the cemetery.  Three of the riders knew Duke well.  The procession to the cemetery was uneventful, arriving at the cemetery to find the shelter lanes already full of cars.  Many pilots and retired members of the 457th Fighter Squadron and the 301st Fighter Wing were present.  After pulling to the lead, the riders and family waited only a short time before proceeding to the shelter.  

Upon arrival at shelter A the family found many riders and flags waiting for them.  The all Air Force Honor Guard performed the military honors and two Colonels who knew Duke spoke and presented plaques to the family.   At the conclusion of the service the flags were furled and riders dismissed after the debrief.
