Monday morning temperatures are suppose to be in the mid 30's. That should put us in the mid 40's. Because of the cold, and this being a flag line only, please dress accordingly. 

Comments: 
- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and appreciated. 

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

- Please remember that our parking area is now on the main road between shelters A and B. Funerals are being staged at the Administration building and in the area by the lake. We will park facing up the hill toward shelter A with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each other as possible so that traffic can get by. This arrangement keeps the motorcycle and voice noise to a minimum around the shelters during the services and appears to meet the needs of the cemetery. We will assemble in this area and not around the shelters until it is time to move to the shelter to set up for the service. Exceptions to this parking arrangement are, as always, made for those who have difficulty walking.
