The PGR and the American Legion Riders have been asked by the family of Mr.
Robert Pratt to escort Mr. Pratt to DFW National Cemetery. There will not be
a police escort on this mission. There will be a briefing at the funeral
home to ensure everyone is aware of the laws and road safety. The ride from
Grapevine to DFW is approx 25 miles. Due to construction we will enter DFW
through the service entrance.

On arrival at the cemetery, big flag bikes will remain at the service
entrance staging area with the procession and remaining bikes will proceed
to the shelter staging area to assist with preparations for the service.  A
short briefing may be provided at that location.

For anyone who will not be able to attend Part 1, please be at the shelter
staging area of the cemetery no later than 12:00 PM and ready to begin
preparing the area for Mr. Pratt service as soon as possible following the
service immediately before his. We will use the flags in storage at the
shelter for this part of the mission.

 

 

Weather: Sunny 102 "Hot"

 

Safety First: Hydration: Begin hydrating lightly a day or two before and
increase use of salty snacks. Two hours before departure to the mission
drink from 12 to 24 oz. of water. Continue to drink small amounts of water
at more frequent intervals as the day goes. Remember, even if you find
yourself in a nice air conditioned room. You may no longer need water to
allow for sweating, but you will need to replace the water lost since your
last hydrations. "Your Safety Is Our Number One Priority".    

 

The water truck will be at DFW for this mission

 

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,

 

Steve "Ghost" Hirtzel

North Texas Ride Captain
