    With the expressed appreciation from many grateful family members and friends nine members of the Patriot Guard Riders stood with flags in hand to honor Mr. Alexander DeCoux. Eight riders rode in procession from the church to the cemetery where flag wrangler Don Ferguson was set up ready to form the flag line. My thanks to all who participated. You did an excellent job both standing and riding for Mr. DeCoux.
