    14 PGR bikes and Bob's flag van. Mission joined by 11 VFW riders out of Buda, San Marcos. Two new riders, one an active duty soldier from San Antonio. Also had a pre-teen proudly hold a flag-did a great job. No LEO showed up so two former policemen from the VFW took over and handled traffic for us. All in all a good mission although hot as blazes.
