BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
The Nebraska Patriot Guard Riders is made up of about 3,500 members across the state.
The group averages five missions a week. Those missions include being present with flag lines and giving escorts for our fallen heroes, along with military send-offs and welcome homes.
Each mission is honorable and powerful – but a recent mission was personal.
As they helped lay former Nebraska Patriot Guard Riders State Captain Clifford Leach to rest.
Current State Captain Scott Knudsen leads us in this week’s mission service.
“Let’s form our flag line. Half of us one side half of us on the other – we will flank the middle here.”
