Completed mission report: Lcpl Jeremy Thomas, USMC, 3 August 2019. La Grande, OR. Nine Riders and 1 Cage staged at the local bus transfer station at 1000 on a warm August day to begin honors for a fallen brother Marine. Family members arrived, including Lcpl Thomas’ 9 year old daughter to say farewell to this war hero. His cremains were carried aboard a Rider’s trike to the cemetery above the city, for honors given by Post 2990, of Union, Oregon. A fitting tribute to the service and troubled life of this Leatherneck.
