Donald Jahn, 71, Army Veteran, Redwood Falls, MN, 22 OCT 09

A total of 15 Patriot Guard Riders from the Marshall and Willmar sectors were able to make it this evening to a very short notice mission, honoring the military service of Donald Jahn, of Redwood Falls. Mr. Jahn was the father of PGR member Dave Jahn of Hutchinson. Dave Mude captained the mission, and when I was able to arrive about 6:30 pm, I saw a beautiful flag line of Red White and Blue displayed against the cloudy sky, visible to anyone passing by the Redwood Valley Funeral Home on County Rd 101. A steady stream of mourners passed by the flags on their way into the visitation, where Dave Jahn, wearing his Patriot Guard vest, greeted them all. Shortly before the family service was to begin, Dave came outside and thanked us all for being there.

We often have family members tell us how much our presence means to them. Dave Jahn mentioned how often he has heard that on missions, but tonight he told me he now truly understood how much it does mean.

God Bless the memory of army reservist veteran, (Sgt) Donald Jahn.
