Mission complete: I would like to thank everyone who came out today to honor Mr. McKay. We had 5 patriot riders on 5 bikes present to stand in his honor. After the briefing we manned doors and stood the flag line as the family and friends arrived for the service. After the service we stood an honor line as the hero was loaded onto the coach. We then accompanied the hero, family and friends to Lakeview Cemetery where staked flags awaited our arrival. We stood a second honor line as the hero was moved to the tent. The Chickasaw Honor Guard conducted Military Honors and presented the flag to the son of Mr. McKay. The PGR invocations were presented to the 2 sons and 4 daughters of Mr. McKay and the plaques were mailed direct. The family and friends were very appreciative of the PGR presence and thanked us all for being there. You all “Stood Tall and Silent” as we honored this hero and most of all thank you Mr. McKay for your faithful service to our great nation and to the family and friends for allowing us to honor him.
