Ray 'T-Bone' Gould, one of our own Patriot Guard Riders, Ride Captain, USMC(Ret) Drill Instructor, is one of the special honorees this year.  He will be honored for his distinguished service at a ceremony at the beginning of the concert.

While this is not an official PGR mission we are hoping for a good turnout to show Ray our respect.  Our plan is to meet at the parking lot of the Denny's restaurant on the south side of the Pomona Freeway (60) at Seventh Avenue at about 1330 hrs.  At about 1345 we will KSU as a group to the Hacienda Heights Community Center (East on Gale Ave a few blocks, then South on Valencia 1 long block to 1234 Valencia). If you arrive late go directly to the Center.  https://goo.gl/maps/E6Cn3

We will be parking as a group in a reserved area South of the main building. We will proceed with our flags to a designated area inside the concert hall, where we will form a flag line for the ceremony, saluting where appropriate. Ceremony will consist of introductions, Pledge of Allegiance, National Anthem, and awards presentations to the honorees.

Following the opening ceremony all are welcome to stay and enjoy the concert program, a most enjoyable Big Bands Era theme with renowned vocalist Robbie Britt.
