The family of Alphonso Johnson Sr 86, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. We are honored to do so.
Alphonso enlisted in the US Army 1946 and was stationed in Korea. He was honorably discharged in 1949.
In civilian life Alphonso worked at Northrup Aerospace until he retired.
His favorite hobby was collecting and repurposing iron and enjoyed the company of his family.
Alphonso is survived by his two children Deanna and Alphonso Jr, three grand children and one great grandchild.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is 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. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
Please post your condolences for the family at the National link:
