In the midst of a cold mist, 8 patriots stood tall & silent as the family walked by stopping to thank each of us personally for honoring their Marine in such a special way. As always, it is our honor to be there & we truly appreciate being invited.
A great big thanks to Nicki & Soup who came all the way from Spicewood to supply flags for us.
With the FD advising that it would be hard keeping everyone together in the procession w/o LEOs & considering the weather, escort was cancelled.
