Thanks to our new National Cemetery for inviting the Patriot Guard Riders to attend. We did have other bike groups there and I / we thank them for attending. I was a GREAT day!!!

I'd like to also thank the PGR folks that worked to make this happen, all the logistics and communication.

And for our veteran members, HEY!!!! We got go see our new home!!! Yeah, it ain't if, it's how and when, and we all get a turn. And please take that with a GBG (Great Big Grin!!!)





And last, but the BEST, the folks that came to honor the new home of passing veterans!!! There was a Medal of Honor person there, and many others. The Air Force band played all the military tunes and those of that group stood up.

The guy next to me and I had to wave, we weren't sitting down!! GBG When they played "off we go..." couple of airdales...




One of them above us.... I just noticed it, and very fitting, that was my flag pole caught along with the air plane.




We even had a 3 jet fly over!!! And these were BIG babies!!! Bombers!!!!




Thanks to GodwaterRep for this pic, a close up of the Honor Guard.




This the last of the panorama of the group, the speakers stage and Honor Guard.



You can see more of our flags around the back side of the ceremony.



The start of our flag line, and it circled the ENTIRE group of attendees!!! Quite a showing!



This is the tent that housed the Air Force band, they were very good!


Thanks to GoldwaterRep for this pic of Steve giving instructions before we form up.



I couldn't get all of them in perspective so I walked away for a longer shot, the bikes were 2 and 3 deep all along the line.



GoldwaterRep and I led one of the groups out to the cemetery. Police and Fire folks blocked the intersections and we took it nice and slow. A really nice ride. We had quite a few folks standing by the road waving!!! Nice.

After we arrived, I took a pic of the bikes. .





First of all lets say a thanks to the Lord for a Great, OK Real nice day!!!! We had a bit of cool windy part of the day, but from what was expected, it was great!!! Thanks!!!

The folks at the Walmart parking lot must have thought they were invaded!!! 150 bikes and scruffy looking dudes / dudesses!! GBG!!!

The prettiest bike in the lot was the one right up front with the flag, my sweet Ruby!!! GBG
