Seven PGR members stood for Sp4 Hoffman today. We were joined by Mike of the Gypsys motor cycle club who was a close friend of Mr. Hoffman. Nicki arrived early and staked out flags in front of the funeral home. After the service began, we stood down the flag line. Nicki and I headed to the cemetery and Warren assumed Ride Captain duty for the escort to the cemetery. The service at the cemetery was short. Nicki and I folded the flag and I presented it to Mrs. Hoffman. The Chaplain offered a short blessing to end the service. Nicki and I were approached by Mrs. Hoffman as we were picking up the staked flags. She repeatedly expressed her profound gratitude for our presence at the service. Thanks to all who made the effort to stand for Mr. Hoffman today. RIP SP4 Hoffman.
