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.

This week we will honor the following hero:

Robert Greer    Private First Class     U.S. Army

May the souls of these veterans rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.
 
“We Are Their Family”
