******MISSION UPDATE******
4 Trikes and 8 bikes along with several cages were on hand to honor this soldier as his family finally received their Hero and touched his flag draped casket. Almost 30 members manned the flaglines on either end of the aircraft as the Honor Guard conducted their solemn task.
The procession traveled to the funeral home with escort provided by five Pulaski County Patrol Officers, with traffic support provided by LRPD and Airport Security as well. These LEO's and airport officials are most appreciated for doing everything they can for us, and for the One we come to Honor. I'd like all to remember to thank these officers for their support at every opportunity.
For enduring the extreme heat, adjusting your schedules to attend this mission, and lending your support throughout the course of this escort mission, you all have my sincere thanks.
For the One we come to Honor, SGT. Bradley Wayne Marshall, You are home now. We will ensure that your loved ones are surrounded with Patriots who love you as much as they do, and that you are shown all the honor and respect you so richly deserve. We are honored to stand tall and support your loved ones during this time. |

***** MISSION UPDATE *****
Sgt Bradley Wayne Marshall of Little Rock, Ar. was honored as he layed in state at Griffen Leggett Forest Hills Funeral Home on thursday evening by hundreds of mourners who came to pay their Respects to this fallen Hero.
Approximately 20 PGR members bore the extreme August heat and manned a Flag Line in his honor. We were also accompanied by Retired Cheif (USAF) and NY regional Ride Captain David Cullen, who also stood in honor of Sgt Marshall.
My thanks to the dedicated American Patriots who stood 15 - 20 minute shifts in the sweltering heat to man the flag line, as well as the Staff of the Funeral Home for accomodating us so graciously.
A Special Thank You to the Family of SGT Marshall for allowing us to Thank this Hero for his Ultimate Sacrafice by inviting our attendance. May the Blessing of Heaven rest upon this family and may they find peace, comfort and understanding in this dark hour. Know that the service and sacrafice of Sgt Marshall shall not be forgotten and that his memory shall be with us always.
To Sgt Bradley Wayne Marshall, Your Mission is Complete, Enter Now into the Kingdom of Heaven and May You Rest in Peace.

*****MISSION COMPLETE*****
Over 40 Riders and several cages were on hand to honor the sacrifice of SGT. Marshall and escort him to his final resting place, and comfort his loved ones during this tragic time.
Two RC's were on hand early to escort the carriage from the funeral home to the church, and several members assisted with the honor of carrying SGT. Marshall inside the church. Another group of riders escorted the family from their home to the service. Several members assisted setting up a stationary flag line as the extreme heat was almost unbearable, however the flag line remained manned at all times with frequent rotations until the services commenced.
Following the service, the procession traveled the short distance to the cemetery with bikes at the four corners of the carriage, with Bradley's uncle Rick Spurr positioned on the right front of his nephew. The flag line encircled the gravesite and stood silently as full Military Honors were rendered. The appreciation of the family was made known as virtually all of them paused to shake hands and give hugs at the conclusion of this service.
My sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you who supported this mission from beginning to end, assisting with tasks, enduring the stifling heat, and resolving to do one thing- show honor and respect for our fallen soldier. The other RC's and SC's efforts were vital and much appreciated. Thanks to all those that furnished cold water and those that assisted with loading flower arrangements, and setting up/collecting flags, and all the other tasks. Thanks as well to the MC clubs that united with us to show respect on this day.
A huge thanks goes to Mr.Tom Brock of Geyer Springs Baptist Church for opening an entire wing of the church for restrooms and a cool place to rest just for us. We could not possibly have manned the flag line or conducted the mission without incident had this critical support not been provided.
Lt. Potter and his PCSD officers provided excellent support throughout the mission and pledged their full support whenever needed in the future. LRPD also supported the mission with their motor patrol today.
Special thanks to Ms. Jade Story of Griffin-Leggett Funeral Home for her full cooperation and support. She also reports that the family was especially touched by this outpouring of love and kindness by so many complete strangers. My reply is always like this: "Although we did not know him, he is our Brother."
Now I turn to the One we came to Honor:
SGT. Bradley Wayne Marshall, there is nothing we can do now to ever bring you back, or to ever repay you for your ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Freedom. It was an honor to salute you today as you were laid to eternal rest with all the Honor, Glory, Dignity, and Respect you so richly deserve. May you now rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.
Most Respectfully, |
