The Patriot Guard Riders escorted Diver Dave from the funeral home to the cemetery.
Once at the cemetery, they stood at attention with their flags and provided an honor guard to the graveside.

At that point, they encircled our group throughout the service.
TPG honored Diver Dave with a speech, a prayer to the Almighty Commander, a 21 gun salute, and the playing of Taps.
They also performed the flag-folding ceremony, but it was not recorded.

Thanks for sharing these pictures of the celebration of a hero’s life with all of us.

I would expect nothing less for this navy man and the PGR know how to do it right!

Oh, Amy, thank you so much for bringing us all with you to join in the celebration of Dave’s life, with the video, music and pictures.

My heart joined you (and friends and family), even though I could not be with you.

Dave’s devoted love of his family and of Christ, his patriotism, his intense support of our Veterans, his consistent sense of humor through all life’s rough journeys, and that constant smile will be missed by all who knew him.
