MSG Mitch Young Memorial Service
Mitch's Memorial Service will be the 25th of Jul 08 at 1000 hrs, JFK Chapel on Ft Bragg.
His Final Ride will be 02 Aug 08, time TBD. Leave from Charlie Mike's Pub and ride to the SFA complex for the Celebration of Life. Mitch will be riding with us on the bikes, and will be interred in the SFA Pond with our other SF Brothers.
The Patriot Guard Riders met Mitch at Silver Ramp on Sun (20 Jul), and provided escort to the funeral home in downtown Fayetteville. As we left Ft Bragg via the All American Gate, we took the Sante Fe exit and headed for Bragg Blvd. As the lead bikes crossed the north side of the bride, the last of the funeral procession was still on the AA. I counted 15 QP's who rode for a fallen brother.
Upon completion, we raised our glasses in a toast to Mitch and the rest of our fallen brothers.
Contact me if you have any questions in regards to these activities.

Stras!
I am currently sacrificing in Fort Benning, and cannot be up there for Robin and Mitch at this time. I hope all works out and I can attend the Memorial Friday. After reading your post detailing the Patriots Guard's escort I have to admit I was moved to emotion. Mitch was an outstanding individual, and well deserving of the honor we can belatedly offer.
Thank you for your post. It strikes a cord within that many may not ever have to appreciate, and rings ever loud and clear to those of us who do.
Your Brother,,,,

Patriot Guard Riders Mission Report
Part 3 Final Ride Report
02 Aug 08
Over 100 Riders and 20 cages escorted MSG Young, his family and friends from Charlie Mike's Pub through Fayetteville to the Special Forces Association (SFA) Compound. This was truly spectacular to see and mere words cannot possibly begin to describe MSG Mitch Young's Final Ride. In the procession was Mitch's bike ridden by his son-in-law, and Mitch's wife rode with one of Mitch's former teammates. The lead bike flew the US Flag that Mitch had carried on many training and combat deployments as well as his team guidon for ODA 7126.
SFA National Headquarters and SFA Chapter 1-18 went out of their way to support this mission, and cannot be thanked enough for their support of our Special Forces Warriors and their families. Charlie Mike's Pub and accomplices who planned this event went over the top and did an outstanding job.
Upon completion of the ride, the beer and food was ready and we all commenced to Celebrating Mitch's life. Many a toast was raised to Mitch and our fallen Special Forces Brethren. In honor of our Special Forces Soldiers who have gone before us, two bottles of Reutberg Beer were toasted and poured into the SFA pond so that they may share in the occasion.
My sincere thanks to all the new members, first time mission attendees, my Special Forces Brothers, and all the DOD Active Duty and Retirees who supported this mission.
This concludes this mission.
De Oppresso Liber !!
