10:15 am - Briefing

Wx: Hi 75 deg, 80% rain chance
Notes: Bring a bottle of water for yourself and one for a friend. Rain gear recommended. Be aware that a visitation will occur the same day 9 - 10 am at the funeral home, and family and friends will be coming and going during our staging period.
Following the funeral service there will be a procession from the funeral home to the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen for a scheduled 1 pm burial service. As there will NOT be law enforcement escort for the procession, the ride captain will chose 2 - 4 big flag bikes to accompany the procession, weather permitting. If it is raining PGR motorcycles will not accompany the procession.
I offer my condolences to the family and friends of this VIETNAM WAR HERO who will not be forgotten. Rest in peace forever free.
They may take my LIFE, but they will NEVER take my FREEDOM!
