The one (1) Veteran accompanied by the SoCalPGR from the Green Family Mortuary, Fontana is:
Arthur Bateman Culverwell 82 U.S. Army
We will be departing from Green Family Cremation and Burial, 13819 Foothill Blvd., Fontana, at approximately 0700 hrs.
The PGR will be the family for these veterans and will stand by while the Patriot Guard Riders render military honors at Riverside National Cemetery.
May the souls of these Veterans 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."
NOTE: This mission posting facilitates your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying this hero from the Mortuary to his final resting place.
Please observe all previously designated COVID-19 Rules.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to participate in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, where you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent 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.
