Terry Smith, Ride Captain San Antonio, will be the lead Ride Captain for this mission.
No further information about the mission is available at this time. Terry will be posting the ride and staging information as soon as it is known.
The PGR riders in San Antonio and the surrounding area are known for their turnout in support of a fallen Hero. I know all that can, will stand tall and silent to honor Capt Funkhouser and that all will keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I met with a young soldier from Michigan yesterday in the burn unit at Brookes Army Medical Center (BAMC) at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio. He deployed with Capt. Funkhouser, his CO, from Ft. Hood some 6 months ago and was on what is being called 'The CBS Mission' on which Capt. Funkhouser was killed. The young soldier could not say enough good things about Capt. Funkhouser and the way he treated his soldiers. He, along with a roomate at BAMC, who was also on the mission, are hoping against some pretty high odds, that they will be able to attend Capt. Funkhouser's services.
Thank you for your brave, unselfish service, Capt. Funkhouser, and thank you for treating the soldiers under your command with dignity, respect and trust. We will be there to honor your service, to express our thanks, and to comfort your family in whatever small way we can. |

From Columbus, take I-10 West to San Antonio.
Take Loop 410 North (right) towards Ft. Sam Houston.
Travel north for about 3.6 miles, and then take the exit for Rittiman Rd.
Make a Left on Rittiman Rd and travel approx. 1.5 miles west on Rittiman to the staging area at the Sports bar.
