On Wednesday, 4 Jan 2015, four (4) American Heroes will be brought to Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518 for burial.

The vets will be transported by the Los Angeles County Coroner to Riverside.

These vets are:

Last Name First Name Age Branch Era

Parrish Gerald 78 USA CW
Lemon Leon 55 USA CW
Hartley Robert 77 USA CW
Sherman Burney 84 USA CW

 
We will also recognize those veterans that have been brought to RNC within the past week for direct burial without final honors.

The PGR will be there to be the family for these veterans and will stand by while military honors are rendered by the California National Guard Honor Team at Riverside National Cemetery.

May the souls of these vets rest in peace beneath the green carpet of grass in a Nation they helped to keep free.

They are not alone, we are their family.
 
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.
