Mission complete: I would like to thank everyone who came out today to honor Mr. Dollar. We had 18 patriot riders on 16 bikes and 1 cage present to stand in his honor. We had riders from several different clubs. 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 into the coach. We then accompanied the hero, family and friends to Canfield Cemetery. We stood a second honor line as the hero was moved to the tent. The Army Honor Guard conducted Military Honors and presented the flag to the wife of Mr. Dollar. The PGR invocation was also presented to the wife. The PGR plaque will be presented at a later date. 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. Dollar for your faithful service to our great nation and to the family and friends for allowing us to honor him.
