MacWilliams, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, was killed in a vehicle accident on Dec. 20. Patriot Guard Riders represent a nationwide group of motorcycle riders who attend funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family to show respect and shield mourners from interruptions created by any protestors.
