On Wednesday, 29 July 2020, the PGR will join with the California National Guard Honor Team in rendering honors to those American Heroes brought to Riverside National Cemetery during this past week without receiving their honors.

No veterans will be coming from Los Angeles County this week.

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 observe all previously designated COVID-19 Rules.

We continue to be limited to 25 members, practice social distance, wear your mask and call Larry Medcraft, 951-897-6635 to be placed on the list.

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.
