ABOUT THE MISSION:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Patriot Guard Riders, we have been invited to stand for Benton “Bud” Burdett Burright, age 88. Bud served in the US Army from 12 June 1946 to 21 May 1956 as a machine gunner and rifleman, in M Co 3rd Battalion 162nd Infantry in Corvallis, Or. His rifle skills got him recognized and assigned to a shooting team, which won many championships. He was awarded the Sharpshooter US Pistol Cal. 45 M1911A1 Badge. One of his first jobs was with his father in the construction of the Cottage Grove Dam when he was 14. Besides logging for a few years, he went on to building houses and a motel near Enterprise, Oregon. He spent the rest of his career working mills, including shift foreman at Brand-S and later Leading Plywood. Please join us as we pay our respects and honor his service to our nation.
