Mission complete: I would like to thank everyone who came out today to honor Mr. Benn. We had 2 bikes/trikes and 2 cages with 4 patriots present to stand in his honor. Upon arrival to the Church we staked out flags around the entry way. After the briefing we stood the flag line and manned doors as the family and friends arrived for the service. After the service we stood an honor line as the cremains were loaded into the coach. We then accompanied the hero, family and friends to the Cemetery. We stood a second honor line as the hero was moved to the tent. The USMC Honor Guard conducted Military Honors and presented the flag to the sister of Mr. Benn. The PGR invocation and PGR plaque was also presented to the sister. 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. Benn for your faithful service to our great nation and to the family and friends for allowing us to honor him..
