Ok Tony, just got back. I couldn't find a "Holly Avenue Park" at all. I cruised through the surrounding neighborhood for a little while looking.
But, as jerwendt mentioned, there is "Holly Avenue School" on the South-East corner of Holly Ave. and Duarte Rd. It has parking lots on both streets.
Knowing the traffic in that area isn't the friendliest to motorcycles. I'd suggest the parking lot on Holly Ave. Right out of the drive-way, there is a side street (W. Leroy Ave.) that goes behind the church, make a right just on Lowell Ave. and then another right on Duarte Rd. and then a right into the parking lot.
The church is pretty much centered between Santa Anita Ave. (On the West-side) and Baldwin Ave (on the East-side) It sits on the South-side of Duarte Rd. |

Dave,
Thanks for the recon. I think the park I saw on the map must be adjacent to the school. I'm still waiting to hear back from the family. Since the cemetary is in Covina I want to find out if they want us to provide an escort for the hearse from the mortuary to the Church or just from the Church to the cemetary.

Sorry about the East-West mix up...
Santa Anita is on the EAST and Baldwin is on WEST... |

Is it just me? Or, are the links for the maps not working?
All I get is a blank screen with the letters "OK" ???
Thanks! |

NiteRider,
I guess the Google map links got broken. I've replaced them with Mapquest. It should work OK now.

| I can participate in either service....wish I could be at both. Is anyone going to try to coordinate these two services to see that each soldier is honored by sufficient numbers of us? |

In todays Pasadena Star News, Sgt. Colnot's mother states........
"Even though I have lost my son I will continue to support the
Army's efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. We must never forget that
we only have there freedoms because of patriotic brave young men
like my son Kyle."
The family has asked people to wear red, white and blue in Kyle's honor.
Fly the colors my Patriot Riders.............

I pray for peace and comfort for the family of this young hero.
After attending the Biker Blessing in Covina, I will be ready for this mission. Feel free to contact me if you too would like to be blessed (this is a bikER blessing, not a blessing of the bikes). |

| I just spoke with the mortuary. His mother would like us to have a really big display of flags and red, white and blue. Please bring flags if you have them. I have some that I will be bringing to loan to you if you don't have a flag. |

| Count me as ONE. As far as wearing red, white and blue ---- I don't want to attract attention to myself....this ain't about me; but, I will do my best to honor the request. Maybe a cap with a flag, t-shirt with an eagle or something along those lines. Thanks for the update. |

The first thing to keep in mind is your own safety so for most of us that's going to mean wearing leather. I meant to say "display" instead of "wear" so I think that carrying a flag, or wearing a patriotic do-rag or scarf should be enough to fulfill the request.
