    The Austin PGR stood in a flag line to honor Seaman Nicolas Wayne Rhodes in Georgetown TX.
    Seaman Rhodes served four years (1976-1981) in the US Navy and was discharged as a Seaman E-3.
    He served on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower and USS Carl Vinson, Nicolas received many Medals,
    Ribbons and Commendations.
    13 PGR members with 1 newcomer stood in a flag line at Gabriels Funeral Chaple in G-Town.
    We then rode to the Bagdad Cemetery in Leander, TX. LEO led the procession to the Cemetery. The PGR stood in the 2nd flag line there with temps at 100 plus degrees. The Family was very appreciative with us. Thanks to all the PGR that came out on this hot day.
