Please note new staging time.
The family of Ernest P. Hogan has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Ernest served proudly in the U.S. Army 173rd Airborne. He served from 1964 to 1967 and fought in the Vietnam War, earning the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Parachutist Badge, Vietnam Service Medal, and Expert Rifle (M-14)
Ernest was a Carpenter for 35-plus years. He loved to play baseball
He is survived by his wife, Annelle, of 50+ years, daughters Angela Saucedo, and Amy Musco, (husband, Matt), and son, Barney. He has nine grandchildren: Caleb, Anna, Elizabeth, and Dominic Saucedo, Breanna, Daniel, Nicole Hogan, Benjamin, and Nora Musco. He is survived by siblings Ann Parker, Tim Hogan, and Deirdre Shutrump. He is preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Bernardine, two sons, Daniel and Joseph, and brothers, Barney, Terry, and Mike.
NOTE: This mission posting facilitates your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying our hero from the Church to his final resting place. Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. We will meet you there for those who would rather go directly to the cemetery.

We encourage those who do not ride to participate in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, where you will be briefed 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.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent 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. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
