This was a DFW International Airport Plane Side Honors Mission for 2nd Lt Walter B. Vincent whose PBJ Bomber and its crew went missing on April 22, 1944 during a training mission off the Island of Espirtu Santo, South Pacific during WWII.

2nd Lt Vincent arrived at DFW International Airport on AA Flight 102 from Honolulu at 07:15 and departed on AA Flight 1632 to Tulsa at 11:05.  Escort for 2nd Lt Vincent was provided by his niece Kim Anderson and Kim's daughter (Lt. Vincent's great-niece, Brooke Desrochers, a lieutenant and flight officer in the United States Navy).

Prior to 2nd Lt Vincent's transfer to Flight 1632, Patriot Guard Riders had the pleasure of visiting with Kim and Brooke who expressed their appreciation for our presence.  Riders told both Kim and Brooke what a privilege it was to have this opportunity to honor 2nd Lt Vincent on his long awaited journey home.

At the appropriate time, all Riders accompanied Kim and Brooke onto the ramp with VMERG members and provided Honors while 2nd Lt Vincent was loaded onto the aircraft.
