Part 2 of 2 Parts
The family and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the funeral services of their Hero, MSG Jimmy Anthony Altamirano, age 43. We will be honored to do so.
MSG Jimmy Altamirano was serving in the US Army in Georgia when he the vehicle he was riding in was struck by a run-away car involved in a police pursuit. Sadly MSG Altamirano perished from his injuries.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him, his family, his friends and his fellow soldiers. He is spoken of highly by all, he was the kind of soldier in the Army that you wish all your soldiers were, said his commanding officers. He was well loved by his family and friends, and highly respected. As such, he was posthumously promoted from SFC to MSG.
He had made his time in the Army a career and was looking at retirement soon.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero.
