Five Patriot Guard riders met at Los Angeles Funeral home to honor Gustavo Natalio “Ned” Arcides. We met up with Sean McPhee also a Patriot Guard Rider, and son-in-law to Ned. He thanked us for being there for the family and his father-in-law.
We finely had a cool morning for the ride. We formed a flag line at the funeral home. Once the service started we retreated and put up flags and stood by till the service was over. We stood in line to Honor Ned as they were bringing the casket out to the hearse. We mounted up for the ride to the cemetery, about 5 miles with LEO escort.
We formed a second flag line at the cemetery for the graveside service.
The funeral director thanked us for being there along with the law enforcement escort and the veterans who folded the flag, gun salute, and playing of taps. Several family members thanked us for being there in support of their loved one Ned.
Thanks to Max for setting up the flags for display, for the flag lines, and providing water for the riders.
RIP Gustavo Natalio (Ned) Arcides
