------------ Part 1 -----------------------------
An American Hero has fallen and PGR was asked to provide an honor escort. We staged at Moffett Field for the arrival home and escort to the funeral home.
Bill (Bunker) Roller got the RC straw, and as Al (Maddog) Cook works there (our ALR District 13 president and VP), he was very helpful with the logistics.
Lynn T's Hummer on the left. Panak and James B wife with her, the guy on the left, I can't remember.
We had a lot of cages today, it was cool and the weather had been... not nice...
Quite a few hardy souls made the run! Thank all that attended!!!
My Sweet Ruby on the rear left with flag flying. Well... this is Moffett and a delay is not out of the question. So the arival time went from 1210 to 1315 and Maddog moved us to a more comfortable waiting place.
Lap of luxury! The Officers Club! I don't think I've had a nice place to wait very often!
Well, 1315 was coming up and I asked Maddog what the schedule was... another delay 'til 1515. Moffett delays are well known, but normally they are for welcome homes as those troops have low priority on transportation, I thought this mission would be exempt, but I guess not. Waiting for an extended time would have put me into riding at night and I just don't do that, it's a vision thing, sigh. So I packed up and went home early.
Thanks to all that showed up!!! God Bless and Healing Prayers for family and friends during this time of passing.
-------------- Part 2 ------------------------------
I arrived late to the service and it was in process. It was well attended and the police escort did a GREAT job as always, and I / we thank them very much!
Parked my Sweet Ruby and took some pics of the honor escort.
I'm back at the end of the line of scoots behind the hearse.
The fire truck had a 1/2 mast / ladder flag flying, a very nice touch! Thank you!
The honor guard taking position. We didn't understand it at the time but the service was finalized here.
Another pic of the escort line.
Formed up for the movement of our Hero to the hearse.
The other leg of the line, our RC Bill (Bunker) Roller first on the right.
They had a beautiful series of water falls. I missed the one on the other side of the road.The PGR escort was for our fallen Hero only, and it was truly an honor. I've always said all missions are different and personal and this one was also.
We escorted our Hero to his final preparation, this was a cremation. PGR also performed pall bearer services. Six of our group volunteered. Rest In Peace Spc Simonetta!!! God Bless Family and friends.
