Although I didn't know Riley Baker, I was privileged to be the Ride Captain for the Patriot Guard Riders to honor this hero - KIA in Anbar Province, Iraq on June 22, 2006 - as he was laid to rest. This video is heavy on pictures of the Patriot Guard Riders rather than pictures of Riley, but these are the pictures I had available. I hope they will stand as a tribute to Marine Cpl. Riley Baker, as we stood to honor him on that sad day.

The song is "Somebody's Someone" by Lonestar.

Pictures were taken by my friend "Leanman" and other riders present.

  • YOu are a good man mschrunk. That is what caring means. Combat Marine here, of 2 Wars. And you make me damn proud that you took the time to do what you do. That's what would make any parent proud. I am sure yours look upon what you do with great pride. God rest your soul Baker. Come home soon all of my brothers in arms.

    One side not, funny, since Obama has been in office there are 941 fallen from combat. I have YET to hear any news caster read those names. Before, you heard the names nightly.
