    Eight Patriot Guard Riders were present to honor PFC Medina today, including members of the San Antonio PGR. Nicki was there early and got a few flags posted before anyone arrived. It was a beautiful day but started to get a little warm about the time we finished. Fortunately only 2 riders got stuck in the sun but they were able to switch with members who were in the shade at around the half way point. Family members and friends all expressed appreciation for our presence at the service.

    The mission was straight forward and completed without a hitch.

    RIP PFC Ismael Medina.
