Riders, you may recall last fall we participated in a home presentation in Round Rock at the invitation of Operation Finally Home, a charitable organization which provides custom-built, mortgage-free homes to America’s military heroes and the widows of the fallen.

18 bikes showed up for the ground breaking ceremonies in Santa Rita Ranch for Spc. Detuccio. Only screw-up was a last minute decision by the Ride Captain to not park where intended which made us a little late for the flag line, but no big harm was done. The Patriot Guard Riders were all invited to an after action reception at the visitors center, which some of us attended. Food was good and plentiful.
