12 Members were present to honor Cpl Armstrong during his graveside ceremony. The family was very appreciative that the Patriot Guard was present. Good turnout for this mission, thanks to all that attended.
5 members braved the cold weather to honor Seaman Spencer. Don had numerous flags strategically staged to enhance our presence. Two of the members actually rode to the mission; Brrr.
6 Patriot Guard members attended the flag line for Mr. Benavides. The RC, even though he has a degree in Mechanical Engineering and advanced mathematics does not know how to compute time and distance so he was very late to the church. The riders that were there stood in a honor line until the RC arrived with the flags minutes before Mr. Benavides’ casket was removed from the hearse. Thanks to the guys that showed the true spirit of the PGR.
13 Patriot Guard Riders comprised the flag line in honor of WWII Veteran Simmons. The daughter of Mr. Simmons stopped and thanked us for what we do, not only for her father, but other veterans as well. Her brother offered thanks also. Thanks for all that came today, good turnout.

Nine Patriot Guard members attended the flag line for SMsg. Jean. The family thanked the members for their attendance. It was good to see Hugh Strawn and Don & Gretchen again.
Flag Wrangler Don had the flags up when we arrived. Thanks, Don.
10 Patriot Guard members, including two new attendees, participated in the flag line portion of the mission to honor Spec 4 Botkin. It was also satisfying that friends and members of his classic car club brought Mr. Botkins car to the service. Thanks to all who attended and especially to those that rode their bikes in iffy weather.
8 PGR were at the funeral home for the flag line and 7 PGR traveled to the cemetery for military honors. Family was very appreciative that we were there.
Nine Patriots attended the honors for captain Bogue; none chose to ride down to SA due to personal reasons. The funeral director did inform me that LEO had been obtained. About ten American Legion Riders showed up for a service ceremony and escort to FT. Sam Houston.
Thanks to the nine Patriots who stood for Coach Sivertsen in the 105 degree heat. Mission was a little disorganized due to a change in venue but it was worked out in time for a impressive flag line.
Great showing today For MSgt Chapman, 17 Patriots showed up to honor Chapman. Don did an excellent job placing flags again. Thanks to all who braved the health crisis, riots and morons talking on the phone while driving.
!5 hardy Patriot Guard Riders showed up for Lt. Bobinski"s service even though the members of the flag line stood in the rain. We had two new members attend, thank you gentlemen. I sent 3 of the PGR members home due to their health conditions and the prospect of them having to stand in the cold rain. Good mission people, thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to Don, who makes the missions easy.
