Thank you Don for your service, stand down you missions is complete! Healing Prayers for family and friends during this time of passing.
This mission was called by his brother Tony, who is the National President of Freedom Cruisers Riding Club - FCRC, and many vets ride with him, myself included.
For those that cannot make the trip to Sacto, like me, I will meet the processions at the cemetery gate flag in hand. The formal service is scheduled for 1130 Friday 13 June at Dixon National cemetery.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
