A cloudy but warm and windy day brought 6 Patriot Guard Riders to Rockne, Tx to honor the passing of Kevin O’Dwyer. Kevin was only 63, what a young age to be taken from this earth. Kevin graduated from the United States Military Academy at West point in 1982 and served in the U.S. Army “the 3rd Armored Cavalry Brave Rifles. We formed a flag line in front of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 10:00 AM. Kevin’s wife , Robbin and several family members and friends walked the flag line thanking us for being their to pay honor to there loved one. We broke the flag line at 10:30 and returned to the staging to await the loading of the casket into the hearse. We formed a line at the hearse to pay respect to Kevin and his family. We took up flags and walked to the back of the cemetery and formed a flag line for the graveside service. At the end of the service we returned to the staging area. A big thanks to the riders who came out to honor this soldier and have a safe ride home.
R.I.P. Captain Kevin O’Dwyer.
