The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited by the family and the US Army to honor their Hero, SSG James G. Perez, it will be our honor to do so.

SSG James Gregory Perez, 28, known as "JP" to his friends, served in the US Army proudly for 8 years as a Army Ranger.  He served multiple deployments and was injured in combat and recovered.  At the time of his passing he was attached to 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment out of Ft Benning, GA.

He was admired and respected by his fellow Rangers for his smarts and his bravery, and was well liked for his spirit and character.  He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
