Master Sgt. Garry Greenbush, provost marshal office operations chief with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron and a Havelock, N.C., native, begins to ride his motorcycle during a memorial ride starting at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., May 3. The ride, honoring Master Gunnery Sgt. Brent L. Sherrell, who was a corrections specialist with the Naval Consolidated Brig aboard MCAS Miramar, departed MCAS Miramar for a 70-mile ride to Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, Calif. Twelve Marines from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., met with the air station riders at the halfway point. The focus of the ride was to honor Sherrell, build camaraderie between motorcyclists and enforce proper riding safety procedures. After arriving at Sherrell’s internment site, Chief Warrant Officer 4 John I. Hawthorne III, a station training officer with MCAS Miramar and a Cleveland native, led a ceremony honoring Sherrell’s life. Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Warren, with Security Battalion, MCB Camp Pendleton, closed the ceremony with a rendition of "Amazing Grace."
