    Today 7 Patriot Guard Riders met at the Mission Funeral Home in South Austin to Honor the passing of Marine PFC Domitilo Ponce.  Many family members and friends came to us thanking us of our service. For a Military veteran to lose his life at such a young age is very sad.

    I thanked the riders for taking the time out of their day to honor Ponce and wished them a safe trip home.

    It is up to us to make sure that no soldier is ever forgotten.

    RIP: Domitilo Ponce
