9 Patriot Guard Riders, including one new member, John, stood a flag line at the entrance to the funeral home. Although the sun was brightly shinning, we managed to be mostly protected by the portico roof. Flag Wrangler/RC Gary, rose to the need & brought & posted flags at the street showing everyone that a special person was being honored today. At the start of the service, we broke the line & proceeded to the cemetery.

Another flag line was formed & 98 year old Charles Frazier was laid to rest with full military honors. The PGR along with family & friends stood in reverence as a rifle volley was rendered, taps played & ceremonial flag folding preformed. After a brief service, Mrs Frazier, with the families help, walked the flag line & personally thanked everyone of us. What a huge honor it is for us to be given the privilege to stand for Mr. Frazier & his family. Thank U Mr. Frazier for you 43 years of faithful service to our nation. RIP Sir. Keith Longacre, Ride Captain
