The family of Conrado Catalla Batocabe, 97, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one. We are privileged to attend
Conrado was one of the Greatest Generation who served proudly in the United States Army from 1946-1949 during World War II. He was stationed in the Philippines, Guam, and Japan. He was honorably discharged at the rank of Private First Class.
After his discharge from the Army, Conrado worked as a Christian layman and church builder. He was a devout Christian and loved his family very deeply.
Conrado is survived by his wife, Chouy, (sounds like Joy but with the ch from chocolate). He is survived by 11 children and many grandchildren. He is also survived by a sister, Clarita.

“One straw at a time.”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.
