Part 1 – Funeral Service, Wednesday, September 10, 2008 , 12:00 PM
Staging 10:30-10:50 AM
_Boze Michell McKibben Funeral Home Chapel_

511 Main St.
Waxahachie, TX.

Plan to arrive not later than 10:50 a.m. at the Funeral Home. We will place
the flags prior to 10:55 a.m. and stand the flag line until shortly after
commencement of the funeral service at 12:00 p.m. At that time we will remove
the flags and prepare for the mission Part 2. Big flag bike riders and other
riders wishing to ride as an escort will remain with the funeral procession
to escort the family to the cemetery. Patriot Guard Riders will not provide
road guard services.
Large Flag Bikes will be needed to escort the family vehicle to the funeral
home at 11:15 am.
We will need 4-6 PGR Riders to go with the Ride Captain to the cemetery to
assist in setting up the flag line and preparing for the arrival of the family
and funeral procession.
Flag/water truck will be present at the Funeral Service but will not go to
Interment. Please be responsible for your own water/Gatorade at Interment.
Part 2 – Interment Service, DFW National Cemetery - Wednesday, September
10, 2008 , 2:00 PM
Staging - 1:30 PM – 1:45 PM . Flag line in place ASAP after 1:30 service
Please park on the road in the assembly area below shelters. We will use
flags already in storage at shelters and place them in the ground in the PVC
pipe recently installed for that purpose.
DFW National Cemetery
2000 Mountain Creek Parkway
Dallas, Texas 75211
(214) 467-3374
Map - _http://tinyurl.com/54vdrg_ (http://tinyurl.com/54vdrg)
Mountain Creek Parkway is now open from I-20 to the cemetery but that the
road is rough and construction is ongoing. The best route is Spur 408 to
Keist to Mountain Creek to the cemetery.
Also please note that other services may be in progress as we are entering
or leaving the area so please keep bike pipe/radio/etc., noise to a minimum.
Thanks.
Weather: Mostly sunny with a high of 81 degrees. Chance of isolated
showers. There will be a flag/water truck at the Funeral Service only. Please
hydrate early and make sure you have plenty of water/Gatorade on hand if you are
in the escort. As always, one of the keys to proper hydration is to start
hydrating early, the day prior to the mission is not too soon to start. It is,
in fact, recommended by the experts.
Iron Horses if you can, cages are always welcome and appreciated.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor
and respect for this Veteran and his family.
Respectfully Submitted,
Bill Sides
North Texas Ride Captain
