Following the receiving of PFC Cross at the airplane we will line up for the
procession to Greenwood Funeral Home.  The Fort Worth Police Department will
provide traffic control.  Upon arrival we will form a line at the funeral
coach and render honors as PFC Cross is moved inside.

Please note:  The family will not make a decision on whether or not there
will be a visitation that evening until this time.  Riders please plan to
stay at the funeral home for a few minutes while we determine if that
decision will be made right away.  If it will be, we will give you their
decision right there.  If there will be a delay we will let you know and you
can look for an e-mail as soon as the decision is made.  If a visitation is
to be held, we have offered to the family to have a flag line for it.  We
will have to be flexible as the family makes this difficult decision.

We will stand a flag line as family members and guests arrive for the
funeral service.  When the service has started we will break down the flag
line and prepare to ride in the procession back to the funeral home.  PFC
Cross will be buried in the Memorial Park at Greenwood.  The Fort Worth
Police Department will provide traffic control for the procession.  We will
stand a flag line during the grave side service.

 

 

Weather:  For both Thursday and Friday the forecast is for clear or mostly
clear skies and a high of 100 degrees.


With warmer weather already here, please remember to properly hydrate
(including the night before) before any outdoor activity and to dress
appropriately.  Do not hesitate to take a break at any time if you feel you
need to get in the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any time.
Also, please don't forget your sun screen.

 

It is very unlikely that we will have a water truck at the airport.  Please
plan accordingly.  One vehicle will be unavailable and one will be at the
mission in Joshua.  Pack you saddlebags with cold water and electrolyte
enhanced drinks.  Remember towels or bandannas to soak and put around your
neck.  Please take all necessary precautions.

 

The flag/water truck will be present at all other parts of the mission.

 

Due to having 2 missions overlapping we need as many riders as possible to
turn out so that proper respect is shown at both missions.  Please make
every effort to attend if you can.  Come in cages if you like.  Any
participation is always welcome and met with open arms by all.

 

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 American patriot.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Dewey "Diehard" Dyer

Mike "Gunner" Lambert
