Riders not participating in the funeral or escort portion of the mission
please plan to arrive at the cemetery no later than 2:30 PM in order to
assist in setting up flags for the interment services.

 

 

Weather:  Forecast is for an isolated thunderstorm with a high of 59
degrees.  Please keep an eye on the weather and dress accordingly.

  

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.  There is
a procession associated with this mission so bikes and flag bikes would be a
plus if possible but if the weather is bad please take no unnecessary
chances.

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Dewey Dyer
