The Austin Patriot Guard Riders came through in a big way today! We had 28 riders, one to carry each of the historic US flags to its position in the Field of Honor at the opening ceremony. All went according to plan and schedule. Thank you all for the impressive showing in supporting this community event.

In particular, thank you to Keith Longacre and Don Ferguson for staging the historic flags prior to our KSU. A shout also to PGR riders Sarah and Mario for enlisting the North Austin motorcycle meetup group riders.

Get out to the field during the week when it's less busy and check it out.
