We will set up our flag line at 1:15 PM and stand tall and silent as the
family and guests arrive for the service.  Once the service begins we will
break down the flag line and the bulk of our group will ride ahead to Watts
Chapel to set up the flags at the burial site.  Large Flag bikes will remain
at the Temple to prepare to ride in the procession to the cemetery.  

To get to the cemetery from Bethel Temple, drive south/east on FM 4,  then
make a left onto CR 308.  Watts Chapel and the cemetery will be on the
right.

Following the funeral service the Flag Bikes will ride in the funeral
procession from the service to Watts Chapel for the interment.  The
procession will be led by the American Legion Riders, followed by a
motorcycle hearse, then a "missing man" formation, again provided by the
American Legion.  The family car will follow the hearse, then the PGR will
provide about 3-4 large flag bikes to follow the family car.  The rest of
the procession will follow, with the PGR providing a close to the procession
with the rest of the large flag bikes.  .
