Welcome to the Memorial Honor Detail Website.

     In 1995, Due to the closure of some of our Military Bases and the downsizing of others, the rendering of Military Honors for deceased veterans being interred at the Riverside National Cemetery in California had become almost nonexistent for more than a year. Then...a small group of concerned Veterans decided that it was time to do something about this lack of final Honors for their fallen Comrades thus the Memorial Honor Detail (MHD) was founded. An Executive Committee was formed and Team Recruitment began immediately.Primarily, existing Veteran organizations,Honor Details and Color Guards volunteered.

     Now as of June 2016 the MHD has provided Military Honors for over 44,455 deceased Veterans at the Riverside National Cemetery who otherwise would have been buried without  Full Military Honors. This represents over 478,510 Volunteer hours by the over 20 active Teams, 6 Dispatchers ,4 Armorers and other volunteers with MHD.
