Details |
Riders will stage at the information center to be briefed about our veteran and the mission. Honor bikes will be selected and moved to the staging lanes. Remaining PGR may proceed on to the assigned committal shelter to set flags and await the procession. Riders will stand "tall and silent" for the interment service that will include full military honors. When directed, at the conclusion of the service, riders will carry the flags to the rear of the shelter to be furled and put away. Riders will then be debriefed and dismissed. Masks/face coverings are required. |
