James is from Comfort, his service was held in Comfort and he was buried in Center Point, the town next to us. The kids lining the roads with US flags were from the entire school district of Center Point, not Comfort, credit needs to go where deserved. They ranged from grade school through high school, it was very moving.

Representatives from many Texas law enforcment agencies directed traffic, not just Texas Rangers, many of our officers wear a white shirt and the traditional white straw hat (in Summer), which gives the impression that they are Rangers.

The kids that lined the roads leading to and from Center Point to the cemetery was organized on very short notice by school officials, one of the HS coaches spearheaded the idea. The kids were very dignified, no skylarking was noticed by our party whatsoever, from the youngest to the oldest.

Thanks brushcop for your inside information. If you have an opportunity, somehow relay to the children, to that coach, and to the community of Center Point that they too make us (freepers) proud to be Americans.
