Following the
receiving of PFC Cross at the airplane we will line up for the
procession to Greenwood Funeral Home. The Fort Worth Police
Department will provide traffic control. Upon arrival we will
form a line at the funeral coach and render honors as PFC Cross is
moved inside. Please note:
The family will not make a decision on whether or not there will be
a visitation that evening until this time. Riders please plan
to stay at the funeral home for a few minutes while we determine if
that decision will be made right away. If it will be, we will
give you their decision right there. If there will be a delay
we will let you know and you can look for an e-mail as soon as the
decision is made. If a visitation is to be held, we have
offered to the family to have a flag line for it. We will have
to be flexible as the family makes this difficult decision. Part 3 –

When the service has started we will break down the flag line and prepare to ride in the procession back to the funeral home. PFC Cross will be buried in the Memorial Park at Greenwood. The Fort Worth Police Department will provide traffic control for the procession. We will stand a flag line during the grave side service. Weather: For both Thursday and Friday the forecast is for clear or mostly clear skies and a high of 100 degrees.
It is very unlikely that we will have a water truck at the airport. Please plan accordingly. One vehicle will be unavailable and one will be at the mission in Joshua. Pack you saddlebags with cold water and electrolyte enhanced drinks. Remember towels or bandannas to soak and put around your neck. Please take all necessary precautions. The flag/water truck will be present at all other parts of the mission. Due to having 2 missions overlapping we need as many riders as possible to turn out so that proper respect is shown at both missions. Please make every effort to attend if you can. Come in cages if you like. Any participation is always welcome and met with open arms by all. Iron Horses if you
can; cages are always welcome and appreciated. Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor and respect for this American patriot. Respectfully Submitted, Dewey “Diehard” Dyer Mike “Gunner” Lambert North Texas Ride Captains |
