NOTE: NEW LOCATION DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS BY MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY WILL BE USED UNTIL MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY RE-OPENS FOR VETERANS WITHOUT FAMILY.

The PGR will honor Veterans without Families by being at, and participating in, the Veteran's Full Military Honors funeral ceremonies -- we will stand in for the families who can't be there. A Flag Line will honor the Veterans as we show our appreciation and respect for their military service.

The Army Honor Guard will not be there; this week we are the Honor Guard and we are the family. I will bring the flag and Bugler Mike will bring the bugle.

This week we will honor the following heroes:

Peterson, James H.    A1C    U.S. Air Force

May the souls of these Veterans rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.

Special Note: Today we would also like to give a special salute to three Patriot Guard heroes from our past.

Andru Hughes     U.S. Army



Bill “Smokestack” Foerschler U.S. Navy



Bill “Smartass” Lamouree  U.S. Navy


 
“We Are Their Family”
