    A very good turnout for a weekday mission. Ten Patriot Guard Riders dedicated most of the day to honor a WW II Veteran. An extra thanks to Don for wrangling. Mr. Sandifer's two daughters sincerely expressed their appreciation the PGR was there. Special thanks to the two Bastrop County Deputy Sheriffs for the 30 mile escort. They did an excellent job keeping the procession safe.
