NOTE: NEW LOCATION DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS BY MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY WILL BE USED UNTIL MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY RE-OPENS FOR VETERANS WITHOUT FAMILY.

The PGR will honor Veterans without Families by being at, and participating in, the Veteran's Full Military Honors funeral ceremonies -- we will stand in for the families who can't be there. A Flag Line will honor the Veterans as we show our appreciation and respect for their military service.

The Army Honor Guard will not be there; this week we are the Honor Guard and we are the family. I will bring the flag and Bugler Mike will bring the bugle.

This week we will honor the following heroes:

Terry Herman         Senior Chief Boatswain's Mate          U.S. Navy
Donald Devore        Sonarman Petty Officer 2nd Class    U.S. Navy

May the souls of these Veterans rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.
 
“We Are Their Family”

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.  For those interested, and all PGR Members are welcome, please see the timetable below.
