    9 bikes and 2 cages meet at the Church of Christ for this mission. flag line was establish per mission guidelines. One cage (Flag Wrangler) left early to establish a convenient stgaing area and 8 bikes traveled with LEO escort to cemetery. The electroinc bugle malfunctioned so there was no Taps. Would like to thank all that showed up and special thanks to Marine Major from CenTex for holding a flag.

    11 bikes, one two-up and a cage (flag truck) traveled from the Cracker Barrel Restaurant in Buda to the National Cemetary at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio for the Military Honors ceremony for Sergeant First Class James Deeter. A flag line was established at shelter number 4 and immediately prior to the service, approximately 20 San Antonio PGR joined us. SFC Deeter honor guard of PGR was well represented.

    Post Mission Report.
    5 Hardy riders along with 4 cages braved the weather to honor Mr. Jurkschat. We established a flag line and held until the service started. The cages departed and the riders went for vittles and gas before accompanying the deceased from bastrop to CTSVC in Killeen, where the CenTex PGR assumed control. Thanks to those that ignored the weather and showed up.

    14 PGR bikes and Bob's flag van. Mission joined by 11 VFW riders out of Buda, San Marcos. Two new riders, one an active duty soldier from San Antonio. Also had a pre-teen proudly hold a flag-did a great job. No LEO showed up so two former policemen from the VFW took over and handled traffic for us. All in all a good mission although hot as blazes.

    Ten hearty PGR members, old and new braved the wind and downpour to honor LtCol Davis. Two loosely wrapped members even rode their bikes. Thanks to all.

    After mission report: 50 motorcycles, several cages and one dog attended the funeral portion of Sgt. Rodriquez' ceremony. All hands faired well even though it was very hot in the sun. I want to thank all who came out and helped and also a special thanks to those who brought water, you guys and gals were lifesavers. Although a very sad occasion, the members of the PGR did fantastically well. Thank you.

    After action report. We had 17 bikes and 2 cages at the funeral home to post an impressive flag line. The ride to Killeen was uneventful. There we met 10 Centex PGR. The only downside to the whole day was that the shelter was not available to Mr. Brown until 1500 and we arrived at the cemetary at 1330. Thanks to all for honoring Mr. Brown.
