The daughter of William “Bill” Thomas Lundy has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor her Hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Bill died at 75 years old of complications of covid-19.
Bill joined the Marine Corps in 1964 and retired in 1986. He was in Vietnam for 2 tours. He retired as a Master Sgt. E-8. Bill was awarded the good conduct medal, Vietnam campaign medal, Bronze Star, and many more medals.

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.
