The PGR will honor Veterans without Families by being at, and participating in, the Veteran's Full Military Honors funeral ceremonies

We will stand in for the families who can't be there.

A Flag Line will honor the Veterans as we show our appreciation and respect for their military service. We are the family. Jeff will bring the flag & Bugler Mike will bring & play the bugle.

Today we will be honoring the following heroes:

BATES, EDWARD               RADIO TECHNICIAN 2ND CLASS            U.S. NAVY
PATTON, BILLY                  ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN                    U.S. NAVY
NOREN, RAYMOND            SEAMAN 2ND CLASS                             U.S. NAVY

May the souls of these Veterans rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.

"We Are Their Family"

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 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.
