The mission post:  

The Warriors’ Watch Riders would like to announce the following 
upcoming mission:

Was not able to get much intel on Raymond, other than he is a Marine and 
a Pearl Harbor Survivor. Our mission is SOP as normal. We will stand the 
line for this Marine As he is placed into his Coach.We then will Escort our 
Hero and his Family to SJVNC,  Santa Nella. There we will stand the Final 
Line as Honors are Rendered.



I met the service at SJVNC Santa Nella, Ca  due to location and time.  Dick,our RC (Ride Captain)  did a great job and got all there safely.  Joined the rest and waited for services

 Lined up and waiting, lead escort bikes and hearse.

 Think there were 5 of us taking up the rear.

 From the front.

 Rest of the group.

 At the committal  shelter.  I like to say "all services are different"  there is no "here is how it is supposed to be..."   We made the escort to the shelter and as usual the scoots pulled ahead of the hearse.

Normally, they all wait for a flag line to the shelter.   The military escort, immediately took the ashes and flag to the shelter, did their salute and waited for us to follow.  Go with the flow, we all just followed along and on with the service.  

It was a nice service and thank you for your service Raymond Brewer!  God Bless and Comfort those left behind.

I've been to SJVNC many times.  For a mid day service I always take a lunch as there are no breaks.  For once I walked around the welcome center and looked out the rear overlook.  VERY nice!  The grass looked like artificial turf, did not go down and test it!  Nice pool at the rear.  It was a very peaceful setting and was nice to just visit!

Also a pool on the far side behind the trees.  Never saw this before.

PGR was asked to honor returning soldiers and an honor it was.  There were four groups arriving and we met the first group arriving at 1230 SJC.

We had a nice group of scoots, IIRC our RC Craig M. counted 10 and one dog,  9er!  He was a service dog in a Ural trike!

 

My Sweet Ruby and some guys on a lift washing the garage we stage at...

More scoots around the corner, the dark green one was the Ural trike that carried 9er.

Folks chatting before the briefing, Ernie H with his back to us - center.  We had a good showing of Dist 13 ALR!  Slickjohn, Juice myself, and I think one more.  Glenn W. arrived in his nice new Spyder!

We had a camera crew and they interviewed Craig M.

Got a shot of our line during a quiet time!   9er has taken the place of Hercules as our mascot!  GBG  Miss Ya JD!!!!!

Hero and LEO. Albert was an ARMY Airborne Ranger and served 8yrs 
in the ARMY. He served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the war on terror. 
He then became a Correctional Officer with Salinas Valley State Prison. 

The mission was well attended by family, friends and fellow co-workers.  

This is just after I arrived and many were already there.
