On arrival at the cemetery big flag bikes will remain with
the procession, the rest of the bikes will proceed to the
shelter staging area, shelter is unknown at this time. Those
not participating in the escort please plan to arrive no
later than 1:00 PM. We will use the flags in storage at the
shelter.
Please be aware of the possibility of
blocked entrances to the cemetery. An entrance that we
believe will always be open is the one near the
administration building on Mountain Creek Parkway about half
way up the hill, approaching Spur 408 and Loop 12. The Map
in this document shows that entrance.

Comments:

- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family.
- Please remember that our parking area is now on the
main road between shelters A and B. Funerals are being
staged at the Administration building and in the area by the
lake. We will park facing up the hill toward shelter A with
2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each other as
possible so that traffic can get by. This arrangement keeps
the motorcycle and voice noise to a minimum around the
shelters during the services and appears to meet the needs
of the cemetery. We will assemble in this area and not
around the shelters until it is time to move to the shelter
to set up for the service. Exceptions to this parking
arrangement are, as always, made for those who have
difficulty walking.

Be aware that we are participating in three different
services on Wednesday. And all three will have the interment
services done at DFW Cemetery.
One at 12:00 PM---One
at 12:30 PM---And the other at 3:00 PM
