13 Dedicated PGR members gathered to honor this Hero. Ride briefing went well as did ride to Cemetery. A moment of silence was observed in memory of the recent motorcycle deaths across our country and for all the fallen. Static flags and the flag line were in place for the Hero’s arrival. Plaque presentation went well and was very appreciated by the family. Standard debrief was held and attendees were notified of upcoming missions and told to be safe on the ride home. Well attended, well received and another flawless performance by our dedicated members.
