Heartfelt thanks to all who showed up and made the ride to accompany this American Hero. The LEO support was excellent, these folks did a remarkable job. Thanks to TC and the Cen-Tex guys who had the cemetery set up for the arrival. Our participation in this mission was as it should be; seamless.

"Not for place or for rank
Not lured by ambition
Or goaded by necessity
But in simple
Obedience to duty
As they understood it
These men suffered all
Sacrificed all
Dared all….and Died …………"

Mission Accomplished.
