The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to a very special event by the Marine Corps Recruit Depo (MCRD) San Diego, California to celebrate new US Marine graduates.
On Friday, 01 August 2025, Marines from MCRD, known as 1St RTBN Delta Co, will be graduating. Training for these new Marines began on 05 May 2025. We are honored to attend.
Please bring your flags and banners for a flag line. Let’s celebrate these new Marines and show them how much we appreciate them!!!
We will meet at Perry's Café 4620 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA. In order to simplify our entrance into MRCD, I suggest we carpool from Perry’s Café. From there we will proceed approximately 2.5 miles to Gate 5 at MCRD where we will proceed to the Shepherd Field to observe the graduation ceremony.
If you plan on attending, please contact me via email. You must have a Real ID to gain access to MCRD.
