The family of Laze Rogers has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Laze Rogers, 92, served in the United States Army from April 1941 to April 1943. He served during WWII in the Battle of the Bulge. After he returned home the war, he worked as a self-employed janitor, was a thrift store owner for many years, and a sports journalist for a local newspaper in Mississippi.
One of his favorite pastimes was Ole Miss football, a team he avidly supported. He also enjoyed serving in a mission, helping and serving those who were less fortunate.
Laze is survived by one daughter, Sam (Samuale), and one son, Glenn. He is also survived by one grandson and one great-grandson.

You do not have to be a veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are 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 Ride Captain (RC). 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.
