The family of Payge Vangor has asked the PGR to be with them as they send their Mother, hero, and friend to her final resting place in the Pacific Ocean that she loved so much. It is our honor to attend and say farewell to one of our own.
Payge was instrumental to the PGR in getting tags from Lancaster to Gunny and San Diego from around 2011 to 2016 when she moved to Phoenix with her daughter.
Payge loved the PGR and was proud to be part of the family. She also got involved with the Gary Sinise foundation and continued to help Veterans and the families of Veterans in any way that she could.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this PGR Member. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, this will be a Flag Line Only at Vision Electric Boat Rentals; see the time table if you would like to participate.
