    This morning 14 Austin Patriot Guard Riders showed up at the Ramsey Funeral Home in Georgetown to Honor Edward E, Johnson.

    It was a beautiful morning and what even made the day better was having Russ Miller as a part of our flag line. He said he was doing ok and taking it a day at a time.

    Family and friends came to tell us thanks for being there and several took pictures.

    After the start of the service we retired the colors and I thanked everyone for being there to honor Edward for his 29 years serving our country.
    Big thanks to Nicki and Soup for taking care of the flags and providing water for all the riders.
    To close Warren blessed us with a prayer and asked that each one of us have a safe trip home.

    RIP: Col Edward E. Johnson
