The family of Petty Officer 2nd Class Gia Truong has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present as this hero returns to San Diego.

PO2 Truong was serving his country in the US Navy when he passed.  He was a BM2 - Boatswain's Mate Second Class.

The family has requested an accompaniment from San Diego Airport to the mortuary in Sorrento Valley.
