Saturday May 31st. I left the house at 8:30 for the funeral home to escort our soldiers remains to St. John Church in West Chester for his funeral.
The escort was short but slow. A group went a head of us to set up flage at the church. As we reached the church we got off our bikes and set up a flag line snapping to attention as our soldier was removed fron the hearse. As always in respect we saluted until he was safely inside the church for the funeral.
No protestors were present so we stood down for about an hour.
As the funeral ended we again stood a flag line at attention saluting as Brandons remains were brought out to the hearse.
We mounted up and proceeded toward Gates of Heaven Cemetary in Montgomery. This was a very slow procession with the streets lined with people paying their respects. Some saluted, some stood with their hands over their hearts, and some proudly waver their flags for this American Hero. This is what makes me proud of the people of this country to see them honoring a 21 year old Hero who gave his life for our freedoms.
We reached the cemetary set up flag lines and again saluted our soldier while at attention.
The funeral continued as we stood in honor. After the service was over we parted as we always do and I led two other local bike back to Liberty Fairfield area where we live via the back roads.




Friday May 30th I checked out of work for about an hour about 1:00 PM to do a honor escort for Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) from Hodap funeral home in West Chester to Sycamore High School for a flaaen soldier from the 101st Airborne Division. When we finaly got to the school it was too late for me to go back to the office so I decided to stay and stand for this soldier.
We stood for him until 9:00 PM when we escorted his remains back to the funeral home. I returned to the house about 10:30 that night.
