    Notes: Bring a bottle of water for yourself and one for a friend. This is a flag line only at the cemetery. The hope is that those attending the Capt Barnett airport recovery mission earlier in the day can also man the flag line at the mission for TSgt Steyer.

    At the conclusion of the earlier mission, most of us found a place to grab lunch & enjoy some fellowship, then proceeded on to the grave side service of Mr. Steyer. 11 members stood a flag line as the Coach , family & friends arrived. Air Force Honor Guard rendered military honors & were sharp as tacks as usual. Attendees were impressed & pleased that we were there "Standing For Those That Stood For Us" Thanks Mark for filling in as Flag Wrangler.
