Mission complete: I would like to thank everyone who came out today to honor Mr. Gressett. We had 10 patriot riders on 7 bikes and 2 cages present to stand in his honor. We had riders from several different clubs. Upon arrival to the funeral Home we staked out flags around the entry way. 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 Hochatown Cemetery. We stood a second flag at the cemetery. The Army Honor Guard conducted Full Military Honors and presented the flag to the provider of Mr. Gressett. The PGR invocation and PGR plaque was also presented to the provider. 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. Gressett for your faithful service to our great nation and to the family and friends for allowing us to honor him.
