The family of LCpl. Erick A. Menjivar and the United States Marine Corps has requested the presence of the Southern Calif. Patriot Guard Riders to Honor this young Hero. It will be our privilege to do so.
We don't know a lot about this young Hero other than he loved being a Marine and his family has really cherished his short time on this earth.
LCpl. Menjivar was assigned to the 2nd Battalion 5th Marines.
He was just 22 years old when he passed from an automobile accident.
The Patriot Guard will be standing tall for this young man along with the finest Honor Guard Team the United States Marines have to offer.

For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying our hero and his family from the funeral home to the cemetery approx. 10 miles. . Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. We will meet you there for those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, please be there Not Later Than 1215hrs.

"Standing for those who stood for us"
Only 2 defining forces offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ, and the American Soldier:
One died for your soul, the other one died for your freedom.
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 is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire while driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent with honor and respect for our Heroes—no talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep the radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
