A big THANK U to the 6 that went to Burnet from Austin PGR. At the church, there was about 40 bikes plus several cages. My brother from Burnet, rode his first KIA funeral procession & like all of us, was moved so much when he saw all the people along the road.
As it turned out, I was able to get to Pflugerville for the grave side part of the Austin mission.
Thanks again everyone. UR super.14 riders showed up at Austin stagging today. And @ the Burnet stagging there was 44 bikes several cages & a ton of civilians. Those of U who experienced a small town reception for a fallen hero for the first time, I'm sure had a most moving ride.
Thank you all for taking the time to show the family & town folks what honering & respect is all about.
Hope to see many of you there Wed as we will again stage at 183 & 29. (0800)
We will head for the Austin mission as soon as the grave side part is completed.Any Austin riders who wish to attend both the KIA & MSG missions, checki the time line. My plan is to immediately head to the church in Austin as soon as we break from the intermen in Lampasas. That will put us at the church around 1:30 give or take. If it's much later, than we will go directly to the cemetery.
22 patriotic men & women showed up for today's mission. and you all showed yourselves proud as usual. We had 2 new members, Eric & Tom. I know from talking with U that we'll see U again.
Several members of the family expressed their heartfelt gradtitde for our being there & showing such powerful respect. So Thank U patriots. U R fantactic & I was proud to serve with U.Anyone wishing to ride up to Burnett together, meet at McDonolds exit 254 for a 9 ish KSU.
What a great turn out. 38 bikes plus several cages. Family comments were plenty. All were so very impressed with our show of respect & honor. One elderly lady told us " seeing all of you & all those flags makes me proud to be an American."

What a great turn out for such a short notice. Thank you all so much for showing once again what respect & honor means to our military families & friends.
We had 35 PGR at the funeral home with all but 12 going on ahead to establish a flag line at the church. The 12, escorded the family & LTC Nelson to the church.
Thanks too to the 6 who stayed at the church to be pall bearers for LTC Nelson's ride back to the funeral home for later transportation to Arlington National Cemetery.What a great turn out. over a hundred degrees & still nearly 50 showed up. The In Country MC club, which Mr. Koch was a member, also was there. A flag line was extablished along 2 sides of the FH with USMC & US flags posted on steaks at the entrance. Mrs. Koch saw only these when she entered so after the flag line was in place, her family brought her back out to see. She was overwhelmed & kept repeated how Daniel would have loved all this.
All rilders stood at attention & saluted as Mr. Koch was loaded into the herase than non flag bikes left for the cemetary. 10 big flag bikes served as an honor escort to the cemetay. When they entered the cemetary, many wow type comments were uttered by those already in attendance.
Afterwards, the family stopped & thanked every single one of the PGR. They agained expressed how much our being there ment & how much Daniel would have loved it.
