The family of Barry Arenson, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Barry served in the United States Navy from 1967-1976. He was honorably discharged at the rank of Fire Control Technician (gunfire control) FTG1. He served during the Vietnam War and received the Vietnam Campaign Medal.
After his exit from the military, Barry worked out of Pt Loma as a Navy civilian from 1978-1990. He worked as a project manager from 1992-2019, and a short time with the Motorola Company.
In his pastime, he enjoyed fishing, traveling, photography, and really focused on genealogy in his later years.
Barry is survived by wife, Charlotte, and son, Lyle.

If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the Ride Captain (RC). 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.
