SEATTLE, Wa. (KTVZ) — The Patriot Guard Riders will bring a Fallen Soldier Cart, used to respectfully transport the remains of fallen service members and veterans, through Central Oregon on June 25 and 26. This meaningful stop will include an overnight stay in Madras to honor those who gave everything, including local heroes.
This particular cart, designated as Cart Number 18, is on its way to Salt Lake City currently. Along its route, the Patriot Guard Riders will specifically honor local heroes in Central Oregon.
These carts are dedicated to the respectful transport of fallen service members and veterans.
Plans for the Central Oregon leg of the journey include wreath-laying ceremonies at two significant locations. A ceremony is scheduled at the Robert Maxwell gravesite in Terrebonne. Another wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the Tommy Tucker Memorial at Madras City Hall.
The Central Oregon community is invited to attend these events, show their support and be part of the tribute to fallen service members and veterans.
