9 bikes and 1 flag carrier showed up to honor SGT Hartley. The family was very appreciative. A flag line was set up at 0930 and remained until the service began. Once the flag line was taken down, the PGR Riders were dismissed and two large flag bikes returned at 1300 to accompany the funeral car with the deceased ashes to CTSVC where we were met with 4 Centex PGR for the final flag line. My thanks to Flag Wrangler Don and Warren Longacre for the extra effort on this mission.
