There will be two military funerals in DFW on Wednesday where Patriot Guard Riders will be "standing guard".
This is not an invitation to the funerals, but if you are so inclined you may be able to get some PJ practice while paying tribute to 2 who have served their country.
I hate to use the words "photo op", but that is what it may be to those so inclined.
Here are the details to the 2 funerals:
