Billy has no family in California to be with him on his last journey, so his many friends from American Legion Post 595 in Perris have asked us to help them honor him. It will be our privilege to do so.
Billy served during the Vietnam era. He was assigned to the 43 Bomb Wing (SAC),
In civilian life he served as an officer and volunteer at The American and VFW Perris Ca, During the time his friends knew him he was known to be a homeless advocate, a philanthropist and a volunteer.
His fellow Legion riders will accompany him from the Legion Hall to Riverside and we will join with them on their arrival at staging area #2
