    11 Patriot Guard members arrived to honor BGen Taylor at his memorial service. Flag line was neat and orderly and thankfully in the shade. It was great to see former Ride Captain Terry Ayers at a mission again. Flag Wrangler Don did an excellent job on flag placement. The family was very appreciative that we were there. Thanks to all who attended the mission.
