9 Patriots responded to the mission for flag line prior to funeral service for Master Chief Gary Mac Parker in Brushy Creek. Temps started in the mid-60s with cloudy sky. By the time we struck the flag line around 10am, some clouds dispersed allowing the sun to shine with temps in the 70s. We stationed 2 patriots, one at each driveway entrance towards the road, where some vehicles responded with some horn honks. The remainder were at the entrance to the chapel to stand silently with flags unfurled as family and friends began making their way inside for the viewing and service. It was our honor to stand in respect for Master Chief Parkers service to our country in both the Navy and Texas National Guard.
