    Eight Patriot Guard Riders manned the flag line for Captain Hartzell. Three riders braved the cold weather and rode their bikes. Captain Hartzell’s family all came out and shook everyone’s hand and expressed their appreciation for us being in attendance. Mrs. Hartzell told us that her husband rode motorcycles until he was 87; on a personal note, I don’t know many Navy or Marine pilots that don’t ride motorcycles. This was a very satisfying mission.
