    Although the day started out very rainy causing all but one of us to cage it, the rain stopped & the 7 of stood proudly for Marine Smith. His Wife & family chatted w us before hand & expressed how much it meant to have us there. Also showing up were 4 Leatherneck MC buddies of Sgt. Smith. Interment was not till 1 out in Spicewood, so after the start of the service we departed, with some of us going on to Georgetown for another flag line mission.
    Thanks again to Nicki & Soup for flag wrangling. Prestaging flags at the entrance was very impressive.
    Thanks everyone, Semper Fidelis,
