    9 bikes and 2 cages meet at the Church of Christ for this mission. flag line was establish per mission guidelines. One cage (Flag Wrangler) left early to establish a convenient stgaing area and 8 bikes traveled with LEO escort to cemetery. The electroinc bugle malfunctioned so there was no Taps. Would like to thank all that showed up and special thanks to Marine Major from CenTex for holding a flag.
