The family and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero, SPC Martin De Santiago Jr., to his final resting place and to attend his final Military Honors. We are honored to do so.
SPC Martin De Santiago Jr. was serving with the US Army when he became ill and sadly did not recover and recently passed away in San Diego.
He is survived by his family, many friends and his fellow Soldiers in the US Army. He will be forever missed by all and never forgotten.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from mortuary to the church services to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the church or cemetery, we will meet you there.
Note: There will be motor escort service for this mission.
