*The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the
United States Welcome Home Foundation (www.uswelcomehome.org ).*

*Ed "Oldiron" Barrett was a gentle man with a heart as big as his shadow in
the late afternoon sun.  He was affectionately called "Uncle Ed" by those
close to him.*

*Ed's love of motorcycles goes back at least 50 years.  His wife and three
daughters have many fond memories of their motorcycle adventures.  Like all
of us that ride, most of those experiences were good, while others would
have to be chalked up as learning experiences.*

*Although Ed was not a veteran, he was one damn proud American.  Ed's
involvement with the Patriot Guard Riders began the first week of January
2005 when he rode with three other members in freezing temperatures 350
miles from Dallas to Wheeler, TX for his first of many Missions.  Ed soon
became a Ride Captain and organized some of the PGR's most memorable
Missions.  He later volunteered for the position of Assistant State Captain
and also held collateral duties as a Forum Moderator.*

*I considered Ed to be my friend, mentor, confidant and most importantly, my
brother.  I will truly miss him.***

Friends,.  John "Top" Kammerer has agreed to serve as the Ride Captain and
will be assisted by the Rest of the Red Caps.  We'd like to see every flag
available at the funeral home at 1200.  There will be Red Hat Parking Police
there to assist with getting everyone parked and still leave room for the
Barrett family.  This is being headed up by Cindy Alexander, Robert Young
and Hal Horton.  All the rest of us will attempt to set the flags in the
ground and then attend both the visitation and the memorial service.  I'll
take all the above and below information and update the thread with a Final
Itinerary.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of us.
