Briefing: Upon clearance and at the direction of the Ride Captain, we will move to the shelter, be briefed and await arrival of the family.
WX: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a high near 65. South southwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming north northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
Notes:
1. We have a funeral at the shelter immediately before this so, if you are not already at the shelter, take care not to disturb the family from the previous funeral. Wait a respectful distance until that family vacates.
2. Hydrate well prior, bring water for yourself and a buddy and dress with consideration of the weather conditions.
Please join us in honoring this US Marine Corps Retiree & Purple Heart Recipient for his selfless service to our Great Nation.
I offer my condolences to the family and friends of this WAR HERO who will not be forgotten. Rest in peace forever free.
They may take my LIFE, but they will NEVER take my FREEDOM!
