Following High School Fred proudly served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1968 to 1971. Fred served with the 1st Marine Division seeing action in Vietnam War.
After his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps as a Lance Corporal, Fred worked for many years with JPL Labs in the High Desert Observatory, monitoring space satellites and as a Computers Supervisor.

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. 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.
