16 patriots arrived at the airport to show the family that total strangers wanted to show honor & respect to their loved one. The flight was 30 minutes late so that disrupted the plans for us to be on the tarmac so we waited outside with the LEOs. We formed up in front of the hearse w one NAVY flag bike in front of the family following the hearse. At the FH, we provided pall bearers & stood a respect line. PO3 Hines's farther thanked us for doing what all we did for his son. Thank U all for standing w honor for this sailor & his family.November 30, 2016 at 7:54 pm in reply to: Wounded Warrior Home Groundbreaking, Lakeway, TX, 30 NOV 2016 #4871keithlongacreModeratorWhat a great day to be an American. 12 PGR members, 3 Lakeway PD units, & total strangers arrived to escort CpL Babin & family to his future smart home.
