DESCRIPTION:Honor Mission\nVirgil L.

The family of Virgil L. Morris has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand a flag line of honor and respect. It will be our honor to do so. Military honors will be rendered at the conclusion of the chapel service at the funeral home. We will then escort their loved one to his final resting place in Laurel Hill Cemetery.Before enlisting in the Navy\, hero Morris worked at the St. Louis Shipyard constructing ships for WWII. He was drafted into the Navy and served on the USS Ajax\, a tender ship. He was a welder and tended to the boiler system of his ship. His ship was the only one of 14 vessels which survived a violent typhoon which took place toward the end of WWII. He was discharged from the United States Navy in November of 1945. He earned the rank of Petty Officer Second Class and was a Fireman Second Class. \nThank you\, Mr. Morris\, from a grateful nation. Your faithful dedication to serve the United States of America is deeply appreciated\, and will never be forgotten. \n\nPRIMARY STAGING DETAILS: 21 Apr 2018\nPrimary Staging Time: 09:15 A.M. \nPitman Funeral Home\n1545 Wentzville Pkwy\nWentzville\, Missouri – 63385\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/Pitman+Funeral+Home/@38.825295\,-90.8794737\,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3\nRide Captain: \nJoseph “Mustang” Bilodeau\njoseph1918@aol.com\n(636) 577-4767\nSpecial Instructions: \nMission Brief at 9:15\nFlag Line from 9:30 to 10:30\nServices at 10:30Following the service and Military Honors\, we will escort our hero to Laurel Hill Cemetery\, 2000 Pennsylvania Ave\, St. Louis (approx. 36 Mi).Weather forecast: Overcast with a high of 61°F. 0% chance of rain.Flags and Support by Danny “Wolfman” Reinbold \nCages are always welcome.
