The family of Russell Charles Schultz has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their Hero’s final journey. We are honored to fulfill this request.
Our Hero enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1956 and was honorably discharged in 1976 at the rank of GySgt, E-7. During his time of service, he was awarded the National Defense Ribbon, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Presidential Unit Citation, and Sharpshooter Badges for the M-14 Rifle and 45 Cal Pistol. While serving, he worked as a Heavy Equipment Maintenance Technician.
Following his service, Russell worked as a civilian contracted mechanic for the Marine Corps for 15 years and the Santa Fe Railroad for 6 years. Russell enjoyed bowling and spending time with family and working.
Our Hero is preceded in death by his wife, Kiyoko and son, Russell. He left behind his wife Luck, son George, three grandchildren and a brother George.

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 R/C (Ride Captain). 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.
