We have been invited by the family of Clark Kelly, DMV, 88, to attend the military honors of their loved one. It will be our privilege to fulfill their request.
Dr. Kelly served in the United States Marines for a short period of time during the Korean War and then got accepted to Colorado State Veterinary School. After graduation from veterinary school he served in the United States Air Force during the Cuban missile crisis and the Bay of Pigs as a base veterinarian. He assisted his human physician officers with surgery which he enjoyed very much.
Dr. Kelly was a small animal veterinarian who owned and operated Boulevard Animal Clinic in San Diego for nearly 60 years. His clients adored and loved him and he took care of 4 generations of pets. He served the community of San Diego with love and pride. He was a compassionate and loving man who has left a legacy to the people and their pets of San Diego. He loved being a veterinarian and he also loved the profession as a whole. He was a loving husband and father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Elsie Kelly, his daughters Dr. Karen Kelly, also a veterinarian and grandchildren, Kate, Alexander and Eric and brother in law Dr. Frank Mangano and brother Dr. Monte Kelly also a San Diego veterinarian.

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 is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire while 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. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
