Updated 8 March 2022
Based on the most current COVID-19 Prevention Guidelines: Protect Yourself and Your Family from COVID-19, and CDC Guidelines of 3 March 2022, going forward, the Lead Ride Captain for any mission will be responsible for determining whether PGR members will have to mask up or not. Please ensure that you have a mask with you, should the need arise, and respect the LRC’s decision in these matters.
Special Information:
PGRNY members will stage at the Bath National Cemetery flag pole parking area at 12:15pm. We will be in place at the Committal Shelter by 12:45pm anticipating the arrival of the family at that time. We will render honors with the military honor guard during services. At the conclusion of services, we will render a final salute after the family has departed and before Mr. Rose's remains are interred.
Please be prepared with a clean 3x5 American or US Marine Corps flag, and dress for the weather. Thank you for devoting your time to help honor US Marine Corps veteran Donald J. Rose's service to us all, and to support his loving family.
