Patriot Guard Riders, 200 strong, were invited by SSG Ehlers himself. I was so honored to have attended this service today for one of America's true Heroes.

Four MOH Recipients sit in front row including James Fleming and John Baca.

I wish I would have known this prior to today. I would have been honored to attend.

Thank you for your service Mr. Ehlers, I had heard about this.

Amongst his recognition as a war hero, this was also the man who spent many years as a security guard at Disneyland of whom many charming stories are told. I think he's in line to be recognized as a Disney Legend.

Medal of Honor, Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, and lived a fantastic life doing what he loved until he passed away at age 92. Take that, Hitler.

There are now 75 living Medal of Honor recipients. Their average age is 72. This means one of them for every 4.4 million Americans.

If you ever get the opportunity to meet one in person, take it.

Only a small part of the Medal of Honor represents what they did on the battlefield. The majority represents their personal character, and that of their family, friends, city or town, teachers and fellow soldiers, that helped shape that character.

It represents what is best about America.

Thank you for your Service and Sacrifices Soldier.
Rest in Peace
