The family of James Skarlies Feliz has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
James served in the Marines for eleven years, serving in the Global War on Terrorism, and was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant.
After his time in the USMC, James was a Barber. In his free time, he loved riding motorcycles and fast cars. When he wasn’t riding James was dancing, coming from the Dominican Republic, his favorites were the bachata and salsa.
The family is requesting accompaniment from Beardsley-Mitchell Funeral home in Ocean Beach to Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery, approx. 5 miles.
NOTE: This mission posting facilitates your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying our hero and his family from the funeral home to his final resting place. Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. We will meet you there for those who would rather go directly to the cemetery.

We encourage those who do not ride to participate in your car. If this is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, where you will be briefed 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.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent with honor and respect for our Heroes—no talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep the radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
