The family of Lino Ayala has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their hero’s final journey. We are honored to fulfill this request.
Our hero enlisted into the ARMY in 2003 and was honorably discharged in 2007. He trained at Ft. Hood and was later deployed to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom as a Combat Engineer. During his enlistment he earned the National Defense Ribbon and Iraqi Freedom Medal.
As a civilian, Lino was employed by multiple railroads as a welder and flagman inspector.
Our hero leaves behind his parents, Maria and Miguel Cardenas, his younger brother, Miguel Cardenas Jr., younger sister, Melissa Cardenas, children, Layla and Lino Jr. and significant other, Pamela Ramirez.
Note: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested and all PGR members are welcome. We will be accompanying the Hero and his family from the church to the cemetery, (approx. 26 miles). Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. If you prefer to meet the procession at the cemetery, please feel free to do so.
