    15 Patriot Guard Riders attended the service of Jesse Campos. The church was kind enough to provide a room for us to get out of the heat. After the service the group made a short ride to the gravesite. We had a few incidents getting into the cemetery due to the road but we all help each other out with no injuries or damage. It was very hot with no shade or breeze to speak of. We broke the flag line a little quicker than we normally may have in the past to find the much needed shade. We found this to be a good spot to talk to the family and friends of Mr. Campos. The family invited us to join them for food and fellowship back at the church with several of the members taking them up on the offer. Thanks to all that participated.
