The Family of Terrill (Terry) James Kokot, 73, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It is our honor to do so.
Terry entered the US Army in August 1967 and was Honorably Discharged June 1970 at the Rank of SP5. He served proudly during the Vietnam War.
Terry enjoyed traveling, golfing, and riding his Harley. It would be especially meaningful to him that he is being accompanied by the PGR's motorcycles to his final resting place.
Terry is survived by his wife Theresa, Daughter Tera LaBrasciano, Brother Butch Kokot, and 5
grandchildren.

For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the family home to his final resting place, approx 12 miles.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are 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.
