PGR Marine Pvt George Apostol, and his mother.

Pics are from top to bottom, click on a pic for a larger pic, text for a pic is under a pic..

PGR was invited to escort Pvt Apostol and his mom for services and grave site honors. As his DD 214 was not found in time for formal military honors , PGR members stood in for the 21 gun salute, honor guard and flag folding. It was an honor to be there and they were outstanding in their mission! God Bless and thank you for doing what you do!

We had 50 bikes and a great service! Thanks to all that rode.


I'm just shooting some shots... bikes and folks...




Craig is our Ride Captain and he is doing his say once, listen up!

When we arrive at the cemetery Spike in front is part of the Honor Guard.. the 21 gun salute team is just to his right...


If you look in the center, the Piper was ready to play....


I don't take pics of the service or the fallen, this was a pic of the flag folding. Spike and Piper did the honors, and they did an outstandeing job! Thank You!

Healing Prayers to family and friends during this time of passing. To loose two of your own at once is a real hurt. God Bless!

Thank you all for your support and prayers. My name is Leo Apostol, George Apostol's brother. It was hard to loose my brother and mother at the same time, but you have made the ceremony a memorable one. On behalf of the Apostol family, we are honored. Thank you.

Thank you for being a part of my Brother in Law and Mother in Law's service. The funeral and burial was beautiful. I don't know the words to use to express how much it meant to our family to have you all there honoring George. It means more to us than you know.
Thank you.
