We had six patriots in the flag line today to honor the Navy service of Mr. Frank “RightSide” Metcalfe. The large porch area at the funeral home entrance afforded us some shade.
About 15 minutes before the start of the service, the BACA motorcycle procession arrived. At least 30 bikes, probably more. RightSide’s Victory was ridden in and parked on the porch. Once everyone was inside we struck the flag line and departed.
