God bless these fallen heroes, defenders of freedom and brave sons of America, who gave their all. Our Lord will welcome and comfort them in that special place in Heaven reserved for heroes. God bless their parents and families. Their sacrifice and loss will never be forgotten. It will be my honor to ride with you in tribute to their sacrifice for our great nation.

ALL "missions" are important. This will be one I do not wanna miss, as I was privileged to be the funeral director rendering services for SSG Deason. Mike was from Desloge, my hometown.
RD made contact w/me & offered the "services" of the Patriot Guard. At the time of SSG Deason's death in Iraq I'd heard of the Patriot Guard - but, had zip exposure to PGR & now realize I didn't have a clue as to the many forms of ongoing PGR support. SSG Deason's family agreed to & requested PGR presence - like me - not really knowing what to expect. I now am fortunate to consider RD one of my best friends & PGR mentors. We all were flat blown away by the LOVE extended to SSG Deason's family. I soon thereafter joined the PGR & have been participating in missions as often as I can since then.
My wife & I operate our small mom'n'pop funeral home. One of our several "gifts" to SSG Deason's family in appreciation for his ultimate sacrifice to our country was the procurement of a Harley Hearse from The Tombstone Hearse Co. Check out the link to see a short video of the estimated 150+ PGR bikes that were in attendance for SSG Deason's funeral !
