I went to this mission today. The count I heard was 94 bikes\trikes plus the City and the residents of Hondo were out in full force. Somehow I knew they would be. This is what "Small Town Texas" does for their heroes.
RC Jimmy Dixon and the young Flag Wrangler (who's name I did not get) did a great job of making all the "Semper Gumby" moments work out. Thanks to all who attended this and any other Patriot Guard mission today. As we all know, It's the right thing to do.
God Bless Spc. Charles Wren. May he Rest in Peace.
