PGR/WWR - Fallen Army Vietnam Vet, Dave Bassard

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

An Army 'Nam era Vet passed and the Riders were asked to ride in honor, and an honor it was! Thanks to the family for inviting us!



We arrived at our stage point in Castro Valley to pick our hero up and escort to SNC - Sacramento National Cemetery. If I recall correctly, we had about 10 bikes, two road guards, three front bikes, two behind the hearse, and three behind the van and bus.


My sweet Ruby right front.... Just mounted the trunk and have some fine tuning to do...


Spike talking to one of the Sons presently serving in harms way. Gave him a challenge coin to take with him.


Getting ready for briefing and KSU.. (Kick Stands Up)


Pictures are a MUST! GBG!!!!


When I arrived at SNC, I was blown away! It had transformed from the trailer to a fine installation! I was stunned!


Nice pond, and all of this is new since I was here a while back, and I don't think it was much more than a year! Wow!!!


One of the two Gazebo's for services, this is the one we used.


Line of well wishers. Our hero was a Pastor and well loved and respected!


The bus and van that carried many well wishers. The hearse in front, as always.


Bracketed by flag bikes, it's always touching to see them on the road with flags fluttering!



Front bikes and the two road guards. Great run and all was safe, that really counts!

God Bless family and friends during this time of passing. Celebrate the life lived, we will all be together soon.
