| No Veteran goes without a family. The PGR is there to stand for them and all others who have served so well. |

'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.
Semper Fi (for you Dad),

| I wanted to come here to express my sadness for these and all the other "Veterans without Family". As a mother of a soldier, it breaks my heart to think these veterans died without family to take care of them. But it's wonderful to see that they do in fact have family here in the PGR who will stand for them and honor them as they go to their final resting places. And thank you to all who are making these burials possible.

| Because of this mission, and ones like it, only solidifies why I joined the PGR. It has NOTHING to do with personal gratification. IT IS FOR OUR VETERANS. If the PGR did not pursue this endeavor, who would? The RNC still has a service at 3:01pm (15:01pm)nearly every weekday for the cremated remains of veterans. Most of the time, there is not any family in attendance. Those veterans receive the same honors as those who have family in attendance. They are still Veterans. Anyone interested should call the RNC first to see if they are going to have a service or not. Most of the time they do.

Mission completed.
Thanks to everyone for being there. It was impressive to see how many PGR members are family and were in attendence to honor these men for their service for their country.
Someday all vets will recieve this honor and will not be unattended.
We had 30 bikes and 5 cages attending the memorial service for these brothers.
Thanks to C.W. for being our sky pilot and leading us in prayer this morning.
