We have been invited by the family of Monty Homer Fisher, 91, to be present as he receives his military honors. We are privileged to do so.
Monty served in the US Navy from 1950-1954 during the Korean Conflict as a Radarman 3rd Class (RD3). He served on the USS Norton Sound (AVM-1). During his honorable service, Monty earned the National Defense Medal.
After his exit from the Navy, he went on to become an electrical engineer and worked for Rockwell International for 31 years. He enjoyed fishing, traveling, following the stock market, computers, feeding the birds, and loved his family.
Monty is preceded in death by one brother Don. He will be remembered by his siblings Ginny and Suzy.
Monty is survived by his lovely wife Kay Fisher; two daughters Kathy and Jennifer; three granddaughters and five great grandchildren.

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.
