Final Ride for 1LT Frank B. Walkup IV

On July 4th I attended the military funeral for 1LT Frank B. Walkup IV in Woodbury, Tennessee.  You can read about it here.  One of my fellow PGR riders set up a video cam on his helmet and he’s got the video uploaded for the ride from the church to the cemetery.  Dave did a great job especially for a first time effort, he was able to keep the cam very steady.  The video is unembellished - no background music and about 7 minutes long.  What you will see though is the incredible support from the townspeople for Frank and his family.

  2. I am unable to view the video of the ride for some reason.
    I wonder, could someone contact me and could I possibly get a copy of it?
    Thank you, for all you do.
    Sincerly,
    Mitzi Walkup
    Mother of 1LT Frank Walkup IV
