We had 12 in the flag line today honoring the long service to our nation of Mr. Willie Nolan Sr. No rain at either the church or cemetery for which we were thankful. We had one first time rider at today’s mission. Welcome, Wade! We also enjoyed the company of the two LEO from Thrall and Granger who came to escort the procession.

Thank you Max Vasquez for bringing flags and water up from Kyle. And a shout out to the Lucky Old Scoundrels MC for making a difference today.

RIP, Willie A Nolan, Sr. Thank you for your service.
