CONFIRMED SHORT NOTICE HONOR MISSION
SPC Ryan McCleary, 23, Montoursville PA
Saturday 11 October 08
Pennsylvania has lost another of it's heroes and it is time for us to stand and honor someone who dedicated his life for the betterment of others. Ryan McCleary was a school teacher who wanted to enrich and improve the lives of the students he taught. He also was a member of the PA Army National Guard, assigned to the 228TH BSB for the past 19 months. This was a young man who volunteered to serve based on his beliefs and love of this country. His service to this country was cut short on 07 OCT 08, when he was tragically taken from us in a motor vehicle accident.
The Patriot Guard Riders will stand and honor this true American and patriot, just as he would have stood for us if called to do so.
Preliminary Mission Details
All services will take place at the Community Baptist Church and consist of flag lines during visitation and military honors following the services. At this time no escort is planned, this will be a set mission.

900 Loyalsock Ave
Montoursville PA 17754

| It is with heartfelt regret for the loss of this American Hero, that I offer my sympathy to the family of SPC Ryan McCleary. A grateful nation is touched by the loss of this young man who loved his country so much that he sought to serve her. We must never forget Ryan and his patiotism. May Our Heavenly Father hold all who grieve close to his Eternal Love...and bring them solace and peace of mind through all the days to be. |

During these days of many trials and tribulations that our land of the free are facing, let us remember to hold our heads up high in remembrance for those who gave thier life for our freedom and those that are still in harms way for this cause. Pray for the brokenhearted and proclaim victory for those who are held captive. Lord, You are the light of the world and we declare You to be Lord over every nation. We know your light shines in darkness and the darkness does not always comprehend, but we also know You light will always prevail. Amen.
