PGR - USMC Sgt Roger McComb To SJNC Gustine, Ca

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

PGR was asked to ride in honor of a Fallen Hero, and it was an honor to be there.

All rides are different, in this one, we met at a Park and Ride in Danville, Ca. Roger's ashes were to be delivered for final resting in SJNC (San Joaquin National Cemetery), Gustine, Ca. It was about 100 miles and our RC Rich M did a great job and the traffic was honoring our escort line.

I didn't take any pics at the staging site, sorry, we were busy and it came time to go and I missed a few shots. My first pics are at SJNC.



There is a staging area in front of the office at SJNC where we all lined up.....


More of the line...


I wanted a pic of the RC's scoot and Tom who rode with him up front. Having large flags in front of the escort is desired.


I finally tried to get the entire line...


The flag on the hill is always impressive. At all missions at the three National Cemeteries I've been to, they are at 1/2 mast. I only saw one instance when it was at full mast and that was at GGNC (Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, Ca), and that was after we escorted a returning group of Marines home at a near by location. I was surprised to see it full up....


They have a nice facility for the visitors.


A nice statue is beside the staging area. The inscriptions reads:

" The Airborne Soldier"

These men have served America with unsurpassed courage and honor. Both war and peace since the beginning of World War II. For many this hallowed ground is their final resting place.




The family and friends came over to visit after the service and wanted a group pic. Well, so did we!!!! GBG (Great Big Grin)!


And a great pic it was, thank you for joining us! I asked the lady of honor, the one that received the flag, if she wanted a pic on a scoot, she was thrilled! I think she is a future rider!


She picked out this gorgeous (Harley, of course) and she loved it! Looked very pleased!



I think she REALLY liked it! She even liked the owner, on the far right! God Bless Roger's family and friends during this time of passing, please celebrate the life lived.
