National Cemetery of the Alleghenies

The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to escort then stand in honor for all those who have served on Veterans Day at the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies.
It is an extreme honor to be invited back to escort our local veterans to the cemetery for the Ceremony.
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” Nov. 11, 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I (major hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918). The day became an annual observance in 1926 the 11th of November became a national holiday in 1938.
This is an Open Invite, all are welcome including children. For those who are unable to escort, you can meet us at Memorial Walkway, POW Circle. When you arrive, tell security you are with PGRPA so they can direct you to where we will be parking.
