A fallen Vet's family from Oregon asked PGR for honors at SJNC. It was a bit chilly but good run over. I've always said they are all different, no change.
When I arrived the RC Chromecowboy - David Tucker asked me if I'd done RC work and I said yes. He and another rider proved the first law of physics once again, no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time, sigh. He laid his bike down and had a bit of damage to it and his left thumb. I said, let's wait until we have a group and decide how to handle this. I just hate to be in front, but wanted him to know it would be taken care of, and it was a simple run.
One of the Sacto RC's showed up and took the mission, great on him!!! David was feeling a bit of pain and headed for home and two of his friends escorted him and glad they did. Asking the Good Lord for all to be fixed and quick for Chromecowboy!
The scoots staged and waiting to ride. That is Chromecowboy on the left giving details to the new ride captain about who and what.
Chromecowboy's scoot is front and center.
He nicked his shield a bit on the right side.
Scratched the side of his tank, the breather and a bit on the pipes. Hope it can be fixed easily.
We staged and did a nice slow ride out the the cemetery to wait for the family. Here we are at the staging and a VERY nice line of scoots!
Thanks to all that rode!! Almost all the riders were American Legion Riders, two were not. I'm ALR Dist 13, saw one 28 and the rest, IIRC were post 83.
IIRC we had 15 scoots and one cage.

PGR was asked to ride an honor mission and it was a successful one. The weather was great, the turnout was great and the family was glad to see us there and all the flags. God Bless and Healing Prayers for those left behind during this time of passing.
So I was worried about the turnout and made sure to be there. Well my fears were unfounded.
Best I could do a final count at the service was around 20 scoots and 2 cages.
No one stepped up for the Ride Captain position so Rich M took over. Thank you my friend for what you do and you do it great! It was special as Rich is a Marine also.
Bob (Wiserguy) Dalton headed this way, I know his brother Dan, and met their sister on a ride. Dan (Garlic Indian) and I both worked and retired from IBM. Bob is a Asst. State Captain, and thank you for what you do!
Nice shot of the scoots and all the flags. It really is an impressive sight. It just makes you feel good to see them.
Staging for the service.
The rest of the flags. The gentleman walking the line I think is family. Sorry I don't know but that was my feeling. God Bless and Healing Prayers for you.
The scoot in front was a member of the service and parked with us. There were also two more at the end. Thank you for joining our line.
No burial, just an escort back to the home for a reception. An uneventful trip, as much so as can be on 880.
While there we had some pictures taken of the group and family, and I thank them for taking a picture with us!
And one just came in!!! A great one! I actually got in a picture, holding my flag! Many thanks to Bob (Wiserguy) Dalton!!! Much appreciated!
