We will participate in the procession from the funeral home to DFW National
Cemetery.  An escort company will be providing traffic control.  At this
time, the exact time of departure from the funeral home has not been
determined so please remain flexible and ready to go at any time.

 

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, which is
shelter B at this time.  Those not participating in the escort please plan
to arrive no later than 2:00 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 and not the main entrance we are used to - just in case. 

Note:  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 trouble walking to the area.

 

 

Weather:  Forecast for Thursday is sunny and HOT.  101 degrees with Isolated
T-Showers.   

 

The flag/water truck will be there.

 

Safety First:  With warmer weather, please remember to properly hydrate
(including the night before) before any outdoor activity and to dress
appropriately.  Do not hesitate to take a break at any time if you feel you
need to get in the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any time.
Also please do not forget your sun screen. 

 

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 veteran and his family.

 

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Mike "Gunner" Lambert

North Texas Ride Captain

 

Floyd "Fabfloyd" Kammerer

North Texas Ride Captain in training
