    We had 12 turnout today to honor the service of US Navy veteran Vann Weldon, including two first time riders. Welcome, Dale & Christopher, and thank you to the other patriots who rode through the morning fog to attend this mission in Taylor.

    Thank you in particular to Lance Owen for bringing the flags and staking some in front of the church for those arriving early for the visitation.

    The funeral service ran long, and our LEO escort cancelled, so the call was made to limit the procession to PGR and funeral home vehicles only, with the family and friends heading to the cemetery separately. This worked out well, with no issues in route.

    The Navy looked sharp rendering military honors. RIP Mr. Halmer Vann Weldon. Thank you for serving our country.
