The family of Alejandro Gallardo has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in his final military honors. It will be our honor and privilege to do so.

Alejandro was born on July 8, 1965 and passed suddenly on October 27, 2019. He enlisted in the United States Navy on August 16, 1987 and was honorable discharged on October 8, 1993. He served in Desert Storm and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon, and the M-16 Sharpshooter Ribbon.

After his time in the Navy, Alejandro worked as an Electrician up until his untimely passing. He loved the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Raiders. He also enjoyed golfing and camping with family and friends.

He is survived by his widow, three children and two siblings.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain).  Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car).  Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can.  Please ride/drive safely.

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
