Thanks to those who made this mission in Taylor, then rode the distance to Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery for the interment portion. The family was very appreciative of our attendance and honoring their loved one.

We had 6 bikes and 7 folks in Taylor. At CTSVC there were 14 present.
Thanks to Bob for wrangling the flags in his shiny van, and to our CenTex brothers and sisters who were standing tall amid a field of flags when we arrived.
Thanks to all of you, another of our warriors was honored today!
