My 1SG and I contacted them at 2300L the night before the funeral, and by 0300 the next day they had 5 ride captains and over 160 members coming from Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, New Mexico, Arkansas and Oklahoma. These guys did an outstanding job, their professionalism and attention to detail was on point. They even conducted recon, and sent me a detailed debriefing of the funeral/ceremonies. Just wanted to share the experience as it was my first with the Patriot Guard and the Westboro extremists. Have a good one.
