The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited by Foothill Funeral and Cremation to honor Michael P. Bissonnette by attending military honors as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Michael was born on 05 April 1945 in Laredo,Texas and entered Eternal Rest on 22 September 2019 in West Covina, Ca. Michael enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on February 14, 1962 and served for four years. He was honorably discharged.
This Veteran has been in the hospital morgue for several months waiting for family to come forth and claim him and when no one came forward, Foothill Funeral was contacted to transport him to county for cremation. The funeral home instead stepped up and have donated all services, casket and staff to make sure this Hero is laid to rest with dignity. Mr. Michael Bissonnette, you are not a forgotten Veteran.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntaryparticipation in honoring this Military Veteran.

We are forever indebted to those who have given their lives so that we might be free.
You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is 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 R/C (Ride Captain). 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.
