Riders met and set up flags, stood honors for our Hero's arrival and that of his family. We then stood the flag line while additional family and friends arrived for the funeral service. At the start of the service we took down the flag line and prepared for the procession to the cemetery. As we left the church with flags flying and pipes rumbling local citizens paid their respects along the route. At the cemetery we gathered in the flag line once again to pay honor and respect to a true American Hero and his family. I was honored and humbled to stand with the men and women of the PGR. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to law enforcement, funeral home staff, funeral director, staff of Texas Jet, Randy, Larry, and the other Ride Captains and members of the PGR that helped in the accomplishment of this mission. It cannot happen without your help. We received one of the greatest complements given to the PGR from the Brigadier General who had come to present the flags to the family members when he said " I cannot do my job without the help of the PGR."
