    PART ONE AMR (after mission report)
    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.

    What 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. It was a moving ceremony with representatives from several participating organizations present.
    A special thanks to Chief Todd Radcliff & Sgt Brown for arranging the police escort that got us there w/o a hitch. U all are super.

    Good turn out Sat. 17 patriots. Even had some from SA. It was really humid & Tony gave us a scare by trying to put a body dent in the grass. But, thank goodness, he recovered some & after resting awhile, went to the barn to get out of the heat & humidity. Hope U are doing well now.

    We had 9 members today with 1 new rider & 1 transfer from Ark. Several members of the family & friends personally thanked us for our support. Manuel was a biker & rode a Kawasaki Concourse. In addition, the Corvette Club he belonged to, showed up in force & it was quite a site on the procession.
    Thanks Don for handling the flags & water. All of U guys make a difference. Thank U all so much.

    A big thank U to the 10 PGR members that stood for this Marine today. The MCL (Marine Corps League), which Ed was a member of, made several really nice comments about our presence. U did good, looked good & are good. When U take time out of your day to stand tall for our veterans, U make a BIG difference & are really appreciated.

    The day started with rain but ended just before we stood the flag line. Yeah! We had 6 flag bearers for the beginning of service w 3 having to leave after. For the procession, we gained a couple & had 4 riders & a cage from PGR. Thank U all so much for standing for this veteran.

    We had a good turn out today. 8 riders, 2 cages for a total of 11 Patriots. Family was so, so appreciative of our being there to honor Mr. Miller. They asked for a couple of riders to escort the coach to the funeral home after the service & 4 riders & a cage stayed to do that. A big big thanks to Robert Hites, ( our new rider ), Steve Windle, Gary Potts, Scott Wegner & Jack Ball. Mr Miller will be transported to East Tx in the morning.
    Mr Ken Newell, one of our newer members wanted you all to know how much he appreciates your kindness & inclusiveness. He thinks U guys are really swell.
    THANK YOU ALL.

    A great big THANK YOU to the 10 riders that showed up on a week day to honor Mathew & his service to our country. And what can U cay about our Flag Wrangler, Sam. He got in late last night from a trip but still showed up to save the day although tired. And if that were not enough, he than took the flags to a 2nd mission funeral to serve another veteran. Thank U Sam for your outstanding service.
    The rest of us took part in an honor procession to TSVC in Killeen. After that was completed, all but 3 than went to the 2nd mission in Cedar Park. U guys are the best. The family & friends expressed their sincere appreciation for our being there. You make a difference!!!!
