There were 20 Patriots who road/drove up to participate in the flag line for CDR Sammy Berton Kyzar. Among them were two Patriots attending their first mission.

It was a beautiful spring day with temps nearing 80 and gusty winds during the flag line at First United Methodist Church in Round Rock.

Mrs. Margaret Kyzar’s son-in-laws planned the memorial service, surprising her when she saw us standing with our flags in the gusting winds lining the entryway to the chapel.

It was a tremendous turnout for this retired veteran of the Navy. Several motorists passing the church expressed their condolences by honking their horns as they went by.

“Standing for those who stood for us”.
