Today 10 Patriot Guard riders met at the Elgin Funeral Home to stand and pay respect for MSG Mickey Wayne Summers. Mickey served in the Army for 27 years. We formed the flag line prior to the service and Mickey’s daughter walked the line thanking everyone for their service. Once the service started we retired the colors and stood by for the procession to the Oak Hill Cemetery for the interment.

Three riders joined the procession to McDade. Five riders formed a second flag line standing as the pallbearers carried the casket to the grave site. A Navy chaplain held the service followed by a 21 gun volley, folding of the flag, and playing of taps. Several family members thanked us for being there along with the funeral director.

After the interment we struck the flag line. I thanked all the riders for being there.
Thanks to Max for taking care of the flags and providing water to the riders.

MSG Mickey Summers RIP
