The family of Elbert Green has requested the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in the committal of their hero at his final resting place. We are honored to have been selected to join with the family at his final Military Honors and committal ceremony.
 
Elbert served in the United States Navy from 1956-1960 assigned to USS Macon. He reached the rank of Electricians Mate 3rd (EM3) class before being Honorably Discharged.     
 
Following his military service, he worked for the United States Postal Service and retired with 31 years of service.  Elbert enjoyed golf, board games, bicycling, and spending time with his family and friends.
 
He is survived by his daughter, Tracy Green West; son, Tony Green; and five grandchildren. Our hero was predeceased by his loving wife, Jody.
 
We are humbled and proud to join this hero's family on this occasion day.
 
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the Hero and his family at the cemetery to his final resting place. Please see the timetable if you would like to participate.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are 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 Ride Captain (RC). 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.
