I am intimately familiar with the location of that funeral home. My wife's services were held there in June. So anyone coming from this area can just follow me. Not a chance of a wrong turn.

It was obvious from all the great things that were said about Pappy, that he was not only a hero, but a great man. I am home again but really enjoyed spending some time with my east Texas comrades. It was a privilege to ride with you all and to meet you. May God bless you all as you support our military and their families.

Hello. I just wanted to thank everyone. Since joining this group I figured I would do my part to honor those that have given it all...

I didn't think about a time when I would ride in honor of a family member. Hayden was my grandfather. I look forward to seeing everyone that I have ridden with in the past while attending this honor of "Pappy".

My condolances to the family and friends of William Hayden "Pappy" Jones. Unfortunately, I will be out of state on Wednesday and therefore will not be able to ride this mission. But I will be there in spirit. It pains me to miss a mission in my own backyard, whose family i am  acquainted with, but it is unavoidable. Ride free and safe, brothers, in honor of the fallen.

Till we meet again,

We will have to be kickstands up by 6:30 from Bentonville in order to get there by 9. I will be at the McDonalds at the Hwy 102 exit in Bentonville (The one with the racecar) at around 6:00, then head south from there.  We will make a stop around Alma or so for a short leg stretch/RR break.

If anyone wants to ride along, just give me a yell and let me know to expect you.

I did not have the priviledge of knowing Mr. Jones but I will be honored to ride for this gentleman, From what I see from the postings of those that knew him I missed knowing a good man. I thank him and his family for his service to this country. This will be my first mission so someone will have to tell me what to do. See yall there Lord willing.

Because I have no ideal how many will be there I will probably cage it and take the flags myself,just in case.

 It would really help on this type mission if the PGR folks that plan to attend would let the RC of that mission know and then he or she can plan accordingly as to what needs to be taken.
