Here’s one of those types of article that I love to do.
A military veteran gets recognized and honored for her service, and Danville gets a new family moving in.
Here’s the story that happened today…
CPL Makea Barton served in the U.S. Army and received the National Defense Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon. She and her family are about to receive a mortgage free home. Bank of America has partnered with USA Home Ownership Foundation to donate the 100% mortgage free home to this deserving military service member and her family.
The Patriot Guard Riders & the American Legion Riders were pleased to give Corporal Barton an honorary escort to her new home.
SouthsideCentral was proud to be at the organizing point, and we’ve got photos to show you.

Makea Barton talks to Patriot Guard Riders Assistant State Captain Tony Turner.
Tony Turner gives the pre-ride briefing to the escort team.
The escort riders meet each other and talk before they roll out.
Two wheels or four, it doesn’t matter when it comes to the honor escort ride.
…or three wheels.

It’s time to roll out…
And the ride to Barton’s new house begins…
SouthsideCentral is proud to welcome Makea Barton to Danville. We’re also extremely proud of the Patriot Guard Riders and the American Legion riders for putting together today’s escort ride.
We’ll have more PhotoCentral articles of the meetup point and the beautiful motorcycles in the next few days here on SouthsideCentral.
Thank You CPL Barton for your service and welcome to Danville. You were a delight to meet. I wish you well as you make Danville your home.
Thank you Bruce for giving CPL Barton the attention she deserves.
