The Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) have been invited by our good friends at Risher Mortuary and Rodolfo Rosas Ramirez's family to accompany him on his journey to his final resting place.
It will be our honor to do so.
Rodolfo was born on 13 December 1926 in San Gabriel, California.
Rodolfo, a member of “The Silent Generation”, was in the U.S. Navy from 1945 to 1946 during World War II. His awards/citations included the Asiatic-Pacific Theater and the Victory Medal World War II. Rodolfo served aboard the USS Rainier (AE-5), the USS Cascade (AD-16), the USS LST 939, and the USS Starlight (AP-175). Rodolfo received his honorable discharge as a Ship’s Cook Third Class from Naval Base, Terminal Island, San Pedro.
Rodolfo was owner/operator of an arboriculture company for over forty years.
Rodolfo is survived by his sons, Rudy and Gil.
NOTE: This mission posting will facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will accompany the Hero and his family 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 instead go directly to the Cemetery.
NOTE: Please observe the latest “COVID-19” restrictions.

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 R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire 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 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 those we honor.
