Per request of our good friend and PGR member Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services), the family of Daniel Paul Zachary has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Daniel was born in San Antonio, Texas on 23 July 1947 and entered Eternal Rest on 10 July 2017 in Bell Gardens.
Daniel proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. Daniel was honorably discharged as a Sergeant.
After his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Daniel earned his Associates Degree and worked for twenty years as a cardiopulmonary technician.
Daniel is survived by his brother Mike and sister-in-law Rachel.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is 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 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.
