    The weather was good for this mission. There was one new rider, Joe. Welcome Joe. There were eleven of us: two in a cage, one on a trike, and eight bikes. The Air Force had a three gun volley salute followed by taps. Family members came down the flag line to thank us for serving and being there. They were very appreciative of the PGR.
