***MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*** Today the Patriot Guard Riders honored the service of Tommy Leon Underwood, United States Army, as we Stood Tall and Silent during his funeral, rode with him one last time and stood again at his committal service.
A very special thanks to David who provided the flags and water; to Laura, who so tirelessly gets our Missions out to the Riders; Dan for getting the Missions posting on the National website and as always, to the Patriot Guard Riders, those who so willingly give of themselves and are found standing in the Flag Line.
To Miss Carla, and all of Tommy’s family and friends, thank you for allowing the Patriot Guard Riders to stand today in honor of this American Veteran. May God comfort you in your loss.
