The family of William 'Bill' Armenteros as invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor him for his service and sacrifice to our country. It is our privilege to do so.
Bill proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1965 to 1967 with the 4th Batt, 37th Armor Div, 1st US Army. After his honorable service he worked as a mason and carpenter and eventually made a career as a musician industry professional in the West Los Angeles area in the Latin Music movement. He was an avid fisherman, breeder of birds and became very involved in bird shows.
Bill is survived by his wife Maria, a son, a daughter, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren.
We will accompany the Hero and his family from their family home in La Habra approximately 20 miles, to the church in Long Beach for his service. At the church there will be a flag line as the family enters the sanctuary for the service and military honors. There will be no interment, the Hero will return to the family after the service.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the family home to the church. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the church, we will meet you there.
