The So Cal PGR has been invited by the Arizona PGR to accompany a Hero from Ontario, CA to Lake Havasu City, AZ where we will hand off to the Arizona PGR.  We would be honored to do so.

Robert "Bob" Ethetton served his country in the US Marine Corps in 1968, he was injured while in boot camp and was honorably discharged. 

While Bob was not able to serve in the military a longer time, he never lost the want and need to continue serving in some capacity and so he joined the American Legion, Post 40 in Chino Valley, AZ.  Bob served as past 2nd Vice Commander for that post, and was also a member of the ALR and the PGR.

As Bob had no family nearby, his AL, ALR and PGR brothers and sisters became his family.  We will be proud to be a part of Bob's last ride joining that family he cherished so much.

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero from Ontario, CA to Lake Havasu City, AZ. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. You are welcome to join us at any of the stops, please arrive at least 15 minutes before ETA.

IMPORTANT HEAT WARNING!!! It is expected to be HOT, please hydrate day of and day before and remember to eat as food is fuel.
