Alexander J. Corrales Jr. proudly served in the U.S. Navy for four years. Within those four years, Alexander deployed offshore and onshore in Vietnam. At the time of his honorable discharge, Alexander achieved E4 rank.
After Alexander served his country, he worked as a Telecom Manager and retired. “Jim,” as he was known to family and friends, continued his service as a member of VFW Post 12034, (Service Officer) La Verne, CA, and Memorable Honor Detail Team 18. He was also a member of MHD Staff as a Dispatcher.
Alexander is survived by his loving wife, Karen, who will cherish the memories they made through the years, especially their trips to Hawaii. He is also survived by many friends with the VFW and the Memorable Honor Detail Team.

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 Ride Captain (RC). 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.
