    We had 19 Patriots riding in on 16 bikes and 2 cages standing tall for Master Sergeant Domingo R Contreras Jr. on a stifling hot triple-digit degree day in San Marcos today. The service at the funeral home was packed to overflowing with family & friends, military buddies, and Army brass attending. The parking overflowed to nearby business lots and the graveside service was just as packed. Many thanks to all who attended – in addition to all our Austin PGR members, we had 5 San Antonio PGR members there and an independent rider/family friend from Seguin. Many thanks also to Nicki & Soup for their superb flag wrangling and putting out all the extra flags at both the services. It was a definite Semper Gumby mission for all today!
