Frank obtained the following info from Mr. Jones regarding this veteran's service:

I will definitely be there Thursday for the recovery and procession to Smithville. I am working Saturday, so I am unable to make the funeral and whatever is planned for Johnson City. See everyone Thursday morning.
La Grange, TX PGR R/CNice turnout for the Recovery on Thursday! Everyone ride safe Saturday and keep this Family under your wings!
