Per request of our good friend Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services) the family of George Polo has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
George was born on May 19, 1949 and entered into Eternal Rest on January 10, 2016 in Loma Linda, California.
After high school George joined the U.S. Army proudly serving his country during the Vietnam War.
After his honorable discharge from the Army, George worked as a salesman in the food and beverage industry for over thirty years.
George is survived by his wife Patsy and cherished children.

For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
