Our regional coordinator has spoken with the family. Our fallen hero has not arrived home yet, and probably will not arrive until Friday or Saturday. The service is tentatively set for Tuesday. The exact date, time and location will be finalized when he returns home. Once the details are known, the ride captain will post the itinerary.

God rest his soul...I know right where that military cemetary is...I'll be there to support the family. Possible rally point...northwest corner of Van Buren and Lincoln is a large shopping area with ample parking. If not a rally point...a possible meeting area for groups coming in from LA/OC and points north.

If I'm not working I should be there. It's in my backyard. I'm on call until I can get on full time at my new job.

Remember the Men and Women who stand in the gap between the free world and those who wish to destroy it. Bless those who serve, those who have served, and most especially those who never return.

I presume we will meet outside the Memorial service site at some particular time. Let me know of any proposed pre-staging sites, otherwise I will just go the church site sometime after 10:30 am. I'll probably just head out the Ortega Hwy, then up the I-15 to the 91 to Van Buren.
