Bikers Heard This Marine’s Remains Were Coming Home in a USPS Box. They Stepped Up in a Big Way!

Staff Sergeant Jonathan Turner served seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and died last week in California from combat-related injuries.

His mother was unable to make the trip from Georgia to California for the funeral and the Marine Corps handled all of the funeral arrangements – including shipping Staff Sergeant ashes back home.

And that didn’t sit well with Patriot Guard riders, so they stepped up by creating a caravan and personally escorting SSgt Turner’s remains all the way across the country.

“I got on the road at 6 o’clock [Friday] night out of Huntsville, Alabama and I rode over to Oklahoma,” Asha Lamy said. “I need the family to know that you’re not alone and we care.”

The Patriot Guard is the best group of bikers in the world! They will attend any military funeral and give the deceased the honor and respect deserve. All the family needs to do is ask and the Patriot Guard will show up in numbers.

It was a very nice thing they did. But I always wonder how these people and other similar groups and people can drop all their work and other responsibilities and run off to do these things.
