Veterans Without Family, Riverside, CA, 28 AUG 13
« on: August 26, 2013, 05:41:09 PM »
On Wednesday 28 Aug 2013, four (4) American Heroes will be brought to Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518 for burial.

The four (4) American Heroes will be brought to Riverside by Dignity’s Rose Hills Mortuary.

The Vets are:

Raymond Nabarrete, age 84, US Army, Korea

George E. Rupky, age 76, US Marine, Korea

Dennis M. Dunbar, age 66, US Army, VN

Hugh B. Group, age 77, US Navy, CW

Edward G. Morones, age 65, US Army, VN

We will also recognize those veterans that have been brought to RNC within the past week for direct burial without final honors.

The PGR will be there to be the family for these veterans and will stand by while military honors are rendered by the California National Guard Honor Team at Riverside National Cemetery.

The group from Rose Hills is scheduled to depart from 3888 Workman Mill Rd., Whittier, CA 90601 at 0900 hrs.
 
May the souls of these vets rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.

They are not alone, we are their family.

“If we cannot do him honor while he’s here to hear the praise,
Then at least let’s give him homage at the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning for a soldier died today.”

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.
