We will be participating in Direct Interments and will be limited to only ten (10) PGR members attending. There will be no staging area, go directly to the interment site, and await the Coroner’s van arrival.
Please park your vehicles on one side of the street. Stay close to your vehicles when rendering honors.
Social Distancing will be strictly adhered to. Social Distancing means keeping 6 feet apart from others.
Only those PGR members that have been contacted and confirmed by Angel will be in attendance at this mission.On Wednesday, 10 June 2020, four (4) American Heroes will be honored at the Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Blvd., Riverside, CA 92518.
The four (4) Veterans being transported by the Los Angeles County Coroner are:
Jackie Cooper 71 U.S. Army
Ernest Samson 85 U.S. Army
Mack Blake 86 U.S. Navy
Gene Szalkiewicz 77 U.S. Army
May the souls of these Veterans 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.“If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days,
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.”NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.

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.
