One of our Vietnam vets passed and PGR was asked to ride in honor and an honor it was!  

Sgtmaj is a 'Nam Vet and has deep respect for all that served, and volunteered to be our Ride Captain.  He asked for folks to ride in honor and over three dozen folks attended, thanks to all for being there.   We had many scoots and over one half dozen cages.  ALR Dist 13 was again well represented.

I didn't make the escort ride so decided to wait at the entrance of offer a salute for our hero.  The participants arrived in four groups and confused me, which is easy to do.  


First was a series of cages, one was Cliff with his flags flying.   Next came some motorcycles and I thought that was the group and followed them to the service location and Buzz waved me over and said, this isn't it... so back to the main entrance I went.

This is the procession!  Got my chance to offer an honor salute.

With all the attendance, the service was literally surrounded with flags, great service!  Thanks to the family for asking PGR to attend.

After the service, Doug/Sgtmaj was talking to the honor guard.   He said the family did not know of their services and responded in less than 48 hours and that is real good!  Thank you for your great show of respect!

A couple shots after the service....

We had scoots all the way down past the service. Great showing!
