It was a beautiful day for the at least 2 hour ride for the 8 patriots that attended the mission for Sgt. Lucio Sanchez. Don did a fine job as usual to add flags around the funeral home. After we struck down the flag line 4 riders made their way home while the remaining 4 stayed to render Honors and participate in the short trip to the grave site. God Bless those that attended, those that could not and to the Family and friends.
