On Wednesday, 25 Mar 2015, seven (7) American Heroes will be brought to Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518 for burial. Also there will one burial of the wife of one of the Heroes.

May the souls of these vets rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in 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.”

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 there by the R/C (Ride Captain).   Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car).
