Just like last week, another super group of patriots showed up to stand in honor of LTC Hibbs. Seven of us stood at the FH & again at the cemetery. Both of the colonel’s sons stopped at the flag line to relay how much our being there meant to them. One son, Jim, asked about becoming a member of the PGR.  I talked with him about that & also about becoming a Flag Wrangler out of the Elgin area.  He does not ride but has a super looking vintage pickup that he wants to mount flags on.

The day was again hot, but we managed to find shade to stand in at both locations.

Military honors were rendered by a contingent of Army guys wearing both the current dress uniform & three with period uniforms of the colonel’s era. It was quite impressive.

Thank U “Sonny” for your service & rest in peace. U deserve it.
