Ten Patriot Guard Riders participated in the 50 mile procession in honor of Samuel G. Mendieta. Everyone did an outstanding job. The family members made several comments to me about how grateful they were to have the PGR in the procession. Thanks to all riders. Also a thank you to the San Marcos PD for providing three M/C LEO's that ensured our safety for the entire route. A thanks also to the San Antonio Region for providing flags and cold water.
