Monday, July 13, 2015

The family of SPC James “Jimmy” Stewart has requested the presences of the Patriot Guard Riders as they lay their loved one to rest. SPC Steward left us on June 18, 2015, in a motorcycle accident in Melbourne, FL. SPC Stewart served honorably in the U.S. Army as an Artilleryman prior to joining the U.S. Marines.

SPC Stewart was a proud member of the American Legion and the VFW and held various American Legion positions through the years. SPC Stewart prided himself on “being a good ole country boy who loved his God, Family and Country.” He had a passion for wanting to make a difference in people’s lives. SPC Stewart received his bachelor’s degree from Florida Southern and became a Funeral Director so he could help families in their time of need. His care and concern for his fellow Veterans was pure and genuine.

This is a 3- part mission in conjunction with the American Legion Riders.

Part I will escort our Hero from the American Legion Post 117, Palm Bay, FL., to Stormy Hill Harley Davidson, Clermont, FL., which is approximately 97 miles.

(The staff at Stormy Hill Harley Davidson was very gracious and welcomed the PGR to use their facility to stage this mission)

Flag Bikes are highly encouraged for Part II of this mission

Part II will escort our Hero from Stormy Hill Harley Davidson, Clermont, FL. to Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL., which is approximately 36 miles.

Part III will receive our Hero upon arrival to Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL., and stand a Flag Line.

Note: For those who would like to ride in the entire 133 mile escort, it will depart the American Legion Post 117, 189 Veteran’s Way, Palm Bay, FL., 32905 at 0745 hrs.

Please bring your 3 X 5 American Flags and join us as we stand in silent Honor and Respect for this Hero and his family.
