The Colorado Patriot Guard Riders have a standing Memorial Mission that takes place at Ft Logan National Cemetery in Denver. This mission happens at 1100 (11:00 am) at Area 'A' on the second Saturday of each month, and is done to give honor to all the veterans buried in the previous month who did not receive military honors at their service. Names are read off with their branch of service, and military honors are given to all. These missions can sometimes be for 40+ heroes and can have a lot of family and friends of these heroes present, and are very emotional missions.
The dates for the next twelve months are:
There is not a mission in November because Veteran's Day falls that same week.

These missions are the direct result of the work done by our own former Ride Captain Crazy Bob Zimmerman (now lives down in Texas), Ft Logan National Cemetery, and the members of the All Veterans Honor Guard.
