And Mike A was the man to step forward and thank you my friend!  Mike is a District 13 American Legion Rider as were four others  attending and our friends Al R, and Craig.  We had seven folks attend, six scoots and a cage.  

Nice group and it was an honor to stand for our fallen veteran and past District 13 / Post 419  commander. 

We were lining up for the escort and Al R was in front with his large flags.  Mike A rode with him and showed the way.  When it was time to leave there were two cages behind the hearse and I followed with my large flag,, and the rest of the scoots.  John R was last performing road guard responsibilities. 

Our group behind the hearse.  L to R, Al C, Mike A, John R, Doug and all Dist 13 ALR riders, including myself.

Between the two nearest posts, you can see Al R and Craig.

it was a short mission and well attended.  I saw many fellow riders and members.

God Bless family and friends during this time of passing.  Celebrate the long and good life lived.
