Per request of our good friend and PGR member Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services), the family of Patricia Ann Bushman has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as she makes her final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Patricia was born in Gautier, Mississippi on 16 January 1948 and entered into Eternal Rest on 24 March 2018 in Huntington Beach.
Patricia proudly served her Country in the Army from 1966 to 1969 and received awards/citations that included the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Patricia was assigned clerical duties and was honorably discharged as a Specialist 5 (E-5).
After the military Patricia worked as a Controller in accounting.
Patricia is survived by her daughter Christine and son Charles.

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.
