The family of Donald Stockwell has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Donald proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1966 to 1968 as a Military Police during the Vietnam War. Some of Donald’s awards/citations included the National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and Vietnam Campaign Medal. Donald was honorably discharged as an E-4.
After his honorable discharge from the Army, Donald was a manager in a brush company.
Donald is survived by his wife Catherine, two daughters and four grandchildren.

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). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
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.
