Thank you to the 10 Patriots who stood the flag line at the VFW today for Hadley Thompson. We were in place about 12:45, and a bit after 1 pm a procession of at least 40 bikes and numerous cars and trucks arrived. Hadley’s bike was trailered among them. Once everyone was through the gate and onto the side patio, the USAF honor guard folded and presented the flag and sounded taps, and a bag piper played Amazing Grace. It was a moving and well executed ceremony, with the USAF looking sharp as always.

Thank you again to Lance for bringing the flags. It was a beautiful day to be outside honoring this PGR and USAF veteran. RIP, Hadley.
