The weather looked very iffie as the day started but the rain went away just in time for the 12 of us who rode & caged to be at the church to show honor & respect for this Army veteran. Mr Brydson was a personal friend of Ride Captain Warren L. who attended & assisted with the service. As per our protocol, we parked at the far side of the lot & a good thing we did. Over 200 folks showed up to attend the service. Also attending were the Highland Lakes Honor Guard.
As attendees walked by us, lots of comments could be heard thanking us for what we do. I am extremely proud of all of YOU that took time out of your day to stand tall for this fallen hero. THANK U very much.
