The family and the US Navy have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be there when a Hero comes home. We are honored to be there for HN Brian Franco as he arrives home to his family, and again at his funeral when arrangements are made.

He will be arriving at LAX in Los Angeles and we will accompany to the mortuary in Long Beach.
