UPDATE-Due to maintenance going on, we are moving to Shelter A this week

On Wednesday 28 September 16, Four (4) American Heroes will be honored at the Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren
Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518.

The four (4) Veterans being transported by the Los Angeles County Coroner are:

Hudec, Douglas,           Honorably Served
Chapman, Wayne,         Honorably Served
Bryant, Richard,            Honorably Served
Schramm, Kenneth,       Honorably Served

We will also recognize those veterans that have been brought to RNC within the past week for direct burial without final
honors.

The PGR will be there to be the family for these veterans and will stand by while military honors are rendered by the
California National Guard Honor Team at Riverside National Cemetery.

May the souls of these veterans rest in peace alongside their brothers and sisters beneath the green sod of a Nation they
helped to keep free.

They are not alone, we are their family.

“If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days,
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.”


NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.

The weather is predicted to be hot so please stay hydrated and don't forget to eat; it can make a difference with your
ability to withstand the heat.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do
not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking,
smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe
the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we
are honoring.
