!!! TIME CHANGE !!! ALL TIMES BELOW HAVE BEEN MOVED UP 15 MINUTES

The family and the United States Marine Corps have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany Pfc William B. Kiernan, 18 yrs of age, as he departs California to return to his home state of Massachusetts.  We will be honored to do so.

Pfc William B. Kiernan had enlisted in the Corps right out of High School, completed basic training and was assigned to MCAGCC in Twentyine Palms.  Sadly he passed of a sudden illness.

The PGR is ready to receive this Hero on the other end of his flight home.  Thank you to our PGR brothers and sisters from the Boston area.

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the Hero and his family from the mortuary to the airport. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the airport, we will meet you there.
