Mission Complete: 17 July 2019- A1C Otto Curtis Kling Jr., USAF/USAFR(Ret), Korean War Veteran, Oklahoma City, Ok.
On Wednesday 17 July 2019 there were 10 Patriot Guard Riders on 6 bikes and 3 cages who attended the mission to Honor the Military Service of USAF/USAFR(Ret), Korean War Veteran , A1C Otto Curtis Kling Jr. at the Vondel Smith and Sons Mortuary in Oklahoma City, Ok.
The area surrounding the Chapel was staked and the American Flag flew proudly in the breeze as family and friends arrived.
The briefing was held, followed by a moment of silence for Blue, Silver and Gold Star families, POWs and MIAs. A prayer asking comfort for the grieving family, a safe mission and protection for our military personnel engaged in the Global War on Terror was also said.
The PGR then stood a Flag Line with the American Flag and the USAF Flag held by members near the entrance door of the Chapel, and manned the doors as family and friends arrived for the service. When the service started, PGR members returned the flags to the flag vehicle.
At the conclusion of the service, the USAF Honor Guard folded the Flag, rendered a 3 round volley and Taps was played . The Honor Guard then presented the Flag to the Hero’s daughter, then stood by as the PGR presentations were made.
The PGR Plaque was read and members presented 3 Plaques to the Hero’s daughter and 2 Sons. The PGR Invocation was read and presented it, along with 2 others to the Hero’s daughter and Sons. A copy of the Invocation, signed by the attending PGR members, and printed condolences were also presented to the Hero’s daughter and Sons. The RCIC thanked the family for inviting us to come and Honor the Military Service of their loved one before a final salute was rendered by members.
Thank You to all of my fellow Patriot Guard Riders for attending this mission. Your presence made a difference to this family.
Most of all, Thank You A1C Otto Curtis Kling Jr. for your service to this great nation. Rest In Peace Sir, your mission is complete and you will not be forgotten.
Respectfully
