McKinney, TX, Wichita Falls, TX, Lawton, OK:
This is how every soldier and veteran should be remembered and honored. Everyone I spoke with said they were honored and humbled to be part of this Patriot Guard Mission. Dad (Ted) said there were bikes as far as you could see stretching across the Texas/Oklahoma border, and people on the sides of the road with signs and flags, and flags flying and people saluting and waving from overpasses. He said he will never forget this mission.
Over the space of a few hours and across a couple of hundred miles, on the gleam of chrome and metal, in the rumble of engines, in the flags that caught the breeze and on the faces that lined the route PFC Cody Board traveled -- the light of unity and liberty and all that is best about the United States of America and the people who honor and revere and serve her burned brightly. Rest in peace soldier - you will not be forgotten.
