Per request of Courtney Lynch (Todd Memorial Chapel, Pomona), the family of Emiliano Baez 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.
Emilio was born on 03 February 1961 and entered Eternal Rest on 23 July 2017.
Emilio proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy from 1981 to 1985, serving the majority of his enlistment aboard the USS Long Beach CGN-9. The USS Long Beach was a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser and the world’s first nuclear-powered surface combatant. Some of Emilio’s citations/awards included the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. Emilio was honorably discharged as an Electrician’s Mate Fireman (EMFN, E3).
Emilio is survived by his parents Emiliano and Eneida. He also leaves behind four sisters and one brother.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
The weather is predicted to be hot so please stay hydrated and don't forget to eat; it can make a difference with your ability to withstand the heat.

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.
