"I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."

Mr. Hecker,
Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

Our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Bobby Hecker. May the good Lord comfort you in these difficult times.
America thanks you for your service, even if she didn't show it back then.
We might have crossed paths in the service or in Ronkonkoma.
Rest in peace my brother.
I am sure the Patriot Guard back there will honor you. Sorry I can't be there, California is a long way from home. |

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on these condolences to you and your family. I know that these words won’t bring your loved one back, but be assured, they will not be forgotten. Our brothers & sisters-at-arms will continue the good fight until we bring all our people home. My prayers are with you during this time of loss.

This is a message from the PGR Suffolk County Ride Captain.
Because this mission is entirely within Suffolk County, Suffolk riders will
go directly to the staging area:
We will LEAVE promptly at 9:15 from the parking lot of SKF Cycles at 1915
Lakeland Ave, Ronkonkoma.
Be there, ready to ride, at 8:45.
Directions:
Long Island Expressway to exit 59 (Ocean Ave).
Right on Ocean for 0.8 miles coming from
the west. If you're coming from the east, turn LEFT on Ocean.
Continue straight (bear SLIGHTLY left) on Lakeland Ave for 0.5 miles and
turn into SKF Cycles on the left. |

You can meet up with us on southbound 87 past the toll at exit 16, or at the rest stop near Sloatsburg. Let me know though, so we'll have a heads up to look for you. Figure 25 minutes after KSU at the staging area.
VERY IMPORTANT: If you are planning on meeting us on the way, you will need to let me know by email or phone, otherwise we won’t plan on looking for you or stopping!! |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I *JUST* got a call from the funeral director - they will be using a motorcycle hearse for this funeral.
I spoke yesterday with the head of the Suffolk County PD motorcycle unit. They already have a number of escorts to do at this time, but he will see if he can pull some people from elsewhere, so we MAY have a police motorcycle escort the entire way, from the church, past the deceased's home, to the cemetery.
