The family of Jerry F. Pryor, 55, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in the services of their loved one and to honor this American Hero. We are honored to do so.
Jerry served in the United States Army from 1971 to 1976 and served time in Germany. He made the rank of E4 at the time of his Honorable Discharge. After the service he became a an electrician and during the last year of his life he became licensed to drive an 18-wheeler and did turn-around trips to Las Vegas and back 3 times a week. He loved camping, hunting and country life. He was also a gun instructor for the NRA.
Jerry passed away 9 years ago and never had a proper burial or honors due to the construction of the new wall at RNC, so again it is our honor to stand with dignity for his service for our country.
Jerry is survived by his wife, Jerri Pryor, his two daughters Heather Nielsen and Dana Clark, two sisters Jeannette Costabile and Rebecca Blazys, one brother Buddy Pryor, and six beloved grandchildren.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran.

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.
