The procession will be arriving from Hughes Funeral Home, Dallas, TX.  The
interment service is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM.  Flags on hand at the
cemetery will be used for the service at that location.  The water truck
WILL be present at the cemetery.  On arrival all bikes will proceed to the
parking area below the shelters for the briefing and be ready to move the
bikes to the road side area between the shelters and prepare the shelter
area with flags as soon as possible following the service before Mr. Daves'.


 

Please be aware of the possibility of blocked entrances to the cemetery.
An entrance that we believe will always be open is the one near the
administration building on Mountain Creek Parkway about half way up the
hill, approaching Spur 408 and Loop 12.  The map in this document shows that
entrance and not the main entrance we are used to - just in case.

 

 

Weather:  Forecast is for a chance of showers and perhaps an isolated
thunderstorm. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall in the morning.
Highs in the lower 90s. South winds around 5 mph. Chance of rain 40 percent.

With warmer weather with us again, 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.


 

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 veteran and member of the Greatest Generation.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Mike "Gunner" Lambert
Floyd Kammerer
