The family of David Moore, 78, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our privilege to do so.
“Scooter Dave,” as he was known to family and friends, served in the United States Army from 1965-1967. He served in Germany as military police and detective during Vietnam wartime. He was honorably discharged at the rank of SPF4.
As a teenager, he worked in a vacuum cleaner shop. After military life, he worked for United Technologies Corporation, where he worked as a lead foreman in charge of the manufacturing of heating and air conditioning units. He retired after 23 years with the company.
Scooter Dave is survived by his daughter Amanda, and two grandchildren, Eric and Emily. He also leaves behind a sister, Christine, and two brothers, Robert and Douglas. He also leaves behind many friends at the church he attended, the Roadhouse Biker Church.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this military veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to the cemetery, less than 20 miles. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”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.
