On Wednesday 21 May 2014, One (1) American Hero will be honored at the Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd.,
Riverside, CA 92518.
The one (1) Veteran being transported by the Los Angeles County Coroner is:
George Johnson, age 68, U.S. Army, Vietnam
We will also recognize those veterans that have been brought to RNC within the past week for direct burial without final
honors.
The PGR will be there to be the family for these veterans and will stand by while military honors are rendered by the
California National Guard Honor Guard at Riverside National Cemetery.
May the souls of these veterans rest in peace alongside their brothers and sisters beneath the green sod of a Nation they
helped to keep free.
They are not alone, we are their family.
“If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days,
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.”NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.
Time Table for Wednesday, 21 May 14:0800 - Gather at Shelter F, Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518
