    *Updated 21 July*

    This mission is confirmed. There will be no family present, and his Elgin area friends have requested the Patriot Guard help provide a proper farewell, with respect and gratitude for Mr. Nubbe's service to our country.

    Our contact in Elgin who is arranging the memorial service is Bradley Jones. Mr. Jones is the friend of Mr. Nubbe who went to check on him at his home and discovered he had passed away. Mr. Jones also happens to be our own Frank James' son-in-law and the proprietor of Jones Funeral Home.

    Frank obtained the following info from Mr. Jones regarding this veteran's service:

    Petty Officer 2nd Class, (E-5), serving 4 yrs on the USS John Adams as a Sonar operator. Mr. Nubbe received the Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon and left the service in March 1973.

    There is family in California, but they have elected not to attend.
    What is holding this up is they are waiting for some of his close friends to come back to town.
    I will be there with you brother!!!

    Mr. Jones would like Big Flag bikes in front of the Funeral Home. We can move them in place after the briefing…
    So, if you are coming, and you have a big flag be sure to bring it along.

    It will be an honor to unfurl my bike mounted USA flag for Jeffrey Nubbe. To further honor Mr. Nubbe's service in the US Navy I'll also be flying a 12 X 18 trunk mounted US Navy flag.

    I just joined yesterday, but I will be proud to stand tall today for this American hero. I get emotional just reading the posts, and I had no idea about this organization until now. I feel very blessed to now be associated with such a special group of patriots.
