    Three bikes and two cages, for a total of 5 hearty temperature ignorers stood the flag line for SGT Pickrel. Don placed several flags in strategic places so the effect was pretty good even with a small number of Patriots in attendance. The family expressed their appreciation several times. Thanks to those who braved yet another day of 100 degree heat.
