The PGR has been invited by the family of Paul Ernest Housmans, 81, to attend the Military Honors for their loved one. It will be our privilege to fulfill their request.
Paul was in the military for over 25 years, with three tours in Vietnam. In Vietnam, he was with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. While assigned to the 173rd, he volunteered and was accepted to the Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) company which evolved into the Ranger Battalions/Regiments.
Paul’s awards include a Bronze Star and Vietnam Cross of Gallantry. His son Shane said “he was a Warrior to the end”
After retiring from the Army, Paul moved to San Diego and began a career with NASSCO, where he worked for another 20+ years.

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 attend in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire while 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. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
