Brian Lee Duran, 44, USA/GWOT - Moreno Valley/RNC - 14 Nov

(1/1)

Lilygirl54:
The family of Brian Lee Duran, 44, have requested the Patriot Guard to accompany their hero to his final resting place.  It will be our honor to do so.

Brian joined the Army and proudly served from May 2004 to December 2005 as an infantryman.  During his short military career, he earned the Parachutist Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, and GWOT Service Medal.  Brian was 100% disabled at the time of his discharge.

After his service Brian, enjoyed helping other veterans as a Medical Support Assistant.  Brian also was going to school studying Microsoft Excel programs.  He enjoyed going the beaches, Huntington Beach and Santa Monica Beach, with friends.  He also enjoyed going to church and reading as well as gardening.  He would sometimes just go out for a drive and found that relaxing.

Brian is survived by his wife, Monica, and their two children, Rebeka and Amaris.  He will also be missed by his mother, Monica, and three siblings, Christina, David, and Valerie.

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this military veteran.  For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the mortuary to the cemetery, approximately 6 miles.  Please see the timetable if you would like to participate.  For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

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 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.
