The family of Lemuel S. Aguda, 65, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Lemuel was born on 20 July 1956 and entered into Eternal Rest on 8 February 2022.
Lemuel served in the US Navy from 1977 to 1997, during the Liberation of Kuwait, receiving an Honorable discharge as a Machinist's Mate 1st Class. His awards include the National Defense Award, Navy E Ribbons, Third Good Conduct Award, Kuwait Liberation Medal, Meritorious Unit Medal, and Sea Service Battle.
After his Military Service, Lemuel joined the Merchant Marines. He loved to sing and was very committed to Church activities. His family remembers him as generous and kind.
Lemuel is survived by his only relative in the United States, a cousin, Noeme Bustamante.

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 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.
