Fort Collins, CO
Wichita Falls, TX -- Mom stands her first flag line with the Patriot Guard Riders at the funeral of Mike Stennet, a National Guard veteran. Dad has been a Patriot Guard member for a few years now and has stood the flag line and escorted many funeral processions. Although a solemn occasion , we are happy to see Mom able to do this after several years being all but disabled from serious back problems and several surgeries.The first flag line was held at Owens and Brumley Funeral Home in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was hotter than blue blazes. If you are from Texas you know what that means - if not - it means fry an egg on the sidewalk HOT! So Mom did not go on to the grave site in that kind of heat. Dad went on to Buffalo Springs with many of his fellow Patriot Guard Riders and stood the flag line there as well. Mr Stennet's last ride was in a motorcycle hearse from Bryan, Texas.
I can't say enough good things about the Patriot Guard Riders. They are a class act and I'm proud to see my Dad and now my Mom stand tall for those who have served our country and bring comfort to those who remain behind.
