This is Part 2 of a two part mission

The United States Army and the family of SFC Perrin K. Shaw have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be with them as their hero is brought home for burial.

SFC Shaw was assigned to the 643rd Engineer Company, 11th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division Sustainable Brigade at Camp Humphreys in Korea.

His command said "SFC Shaw of 643rd Engineer Company “Wolfpack” passed away on June 11th, 2023. SFC Shaw was a dedicated professional, serving twice with 643rd on different tours.
