SP5 John Earl Martin was called home by the Lord on March 29, 2013. The family has asked the Patriot Guard to join them in honoring this American hero on 4-2-2013, 1400, at the New Hope Funeral Home in Sunnyvalle, Texas . We will stage at the funeral home, unfurl the flags, hold a briefing, and stand by for the arrival of family and friends. After the service begins the flags will be furled, and we will move to the grave site that is next to the funeral home. The family has asked the Patriot Guard to escort the family from their home to the funeral home. I need four Honor bikes to do the escort. If you are willing to do this please call me and let me know. This escort will only happen of weather permits. The home is only three miles from the funeral home in Mesquite Texas.
