We will set up a flag line prior to the funeral service and stand the line
to receive family and guests as they arrive.  There will be no formal
procession to the cemetery following the service.  Family and guests will
break following the service and meet again at the cemetery.  However, 4-6
big flag bikes have been requested to stay behind to escort the hearse to
DFW National Cemetery.  The hearse is scheduled to leave the funeral home at
11:15 AM for the approximately 45 minute trip.  Riders wishing to remain and
escort the hearse should have time to break upon reaching the cemetery to
get something to eat and return before the service.  Other riders, following
the dismissal of the flag line, will be dismissed until time to stage again
at the cemetery for Part 2 of the mission (see below).

Big flag bikes please stage at the visitor center in preparation for
escorting the funeral party to the shelter.  All other participants please
park and stage below shelter A for briefing.  We will use the flags in
storage at the shelter for this portion of the mission and will set the flag
line as soon as possible before Mr. Hall's scheduled service.  Our service
should be the first one after the cemetery lunch break.

 

 

Weather:  Forecast is for partly cloudy skies with a high of 84 degrees.

  

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor
and respect for this American patriot.  

 

Iron Horses if you can; cages are always welcome and appreciated.  The
flag/water truck will be present in Weatherford.  At the time of this
posting it is unclear if the truck will also be present at DFW National
Cemetery.  Just in case, please make arrangements to have your own water
and/or sports drink(s) available at that location.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Cathy Cannon

North Texas Ride Captain
