A Marine’s Remains Were Going To Be Mailed To His Mom, Then Some Bikers Stepped In!

You’ll be proud to see this one heroic show of this group of Americans who immediately stepped in to show us the real meaning of patriotism.

Recently, a group of riders has been in the headlines for such heroic deed on the last days of Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner passed away in California.

Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner has served seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Marine Corps and recently died because of combat-related issues.

The mother of the fallen hero couldn’t make the trip to claim her son’s ashes in California.

Until these hero riders, identified themselves as The Patriot Guard Riders have appalled by the fact that the fallen hero’s remains will be traveling home in a FedEx box and decided to ride across several states worked together to return Staff Sgt. Johnathan Turner’s ashes to his mother in Georgia, in a more dignified way. And, it was quite the sight to behold.

David Noble, Captian of Oklahoma Patriot Guard Riders have said in a statement via KFSM 5 News:

“We did this primarily because his mother was unable to attend the services, He had been cremated, and we did not want him to go home in a FedEx box.”

Asha Lamy, another rider from the group have said, “I need the family to know that you are not alone and we care, I got on the road at 6 last night out of Huntsville, Alabama, and I rode over to Oklahoma.”

Turner from California to his mother’s arms so that she can be at ease that he is home.”
