The family of David Allen Miracle, 37, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor him for his military service. It is our honor and privilege to do so.
David proudly served his country in the US Army from 22 Nov 2005 until his honorable discharge 22 Nov 2007 as a Specialist with the specialty in the Military Police. During his service, he earned the following decoration medals: Army Commendation Medal with V device, Army Commendation Medal, Purple Heart, National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, Combat Action Badge, and Driver and Mechanic Badge.
Following his service in the Army, David loved race cars and riding motorcycles.
David is survived by his wife Liane, his parents Jimmie and Cathy, and five siblings. Family has mentioned that David suffered a lot with PTSD and was prescribed a lot of medications that they believe were to help with his depression as well as other factors that made him more ill. No cause of death has been provided on his death certificate because they are still pending from the coroner’s office

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. 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.
