The family of US Army veteran Willard Dale Hogan has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their Hero for his service and his sacrifice to our country. It will be our honor to do so.

Willard served in active federal service for more than 24 years. He served in Vietnam from October, 1970 to October, 1971. He retired from the Army in 1973.

After retiring from the Army, Willard volunteered at VA hospitals and the Sheriff's Department. While volunteering, he built 10 churches. He was a motorcycle rider and pilot of his own small plane.
