16 intrepid and well-seasoned PGR members participated in this early morning mission to honor Sergeant Chiles. Mission briefing and ride to venue were uneventful. Flag line looked great with all the members holding flags in addition to the 10 static flags we put out. Appropriate military honors were done at the appropriate times. The plaque presentation went well and the Widow was amazed with the wonderfully done plaque she received. Debrief was uneventful. Both RCIT’s and SV’s contributed to the execution of this mission. All were thanked for their efforts and dedication to our mission.
