The family of Brian David Ferguson, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor this hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Brian served in the Army from 1969 until 1970. He served one tour in Vietnam. While in Vietnam, he was a truck driver. He drove re-fuel tanker trucks. Before his discharge, he achieved the rank of private first class.
In civilian life, Brian started as a lineman for AT&T and eventually became a trouble shooter for the first cell phone towers and finally their programming in Southern California before his retirement.
Brian was an avid movie watcher and collector of movies. He loved the VFW and his friends. Brian was a great believer in the American way and proudly supported the Armed Services.
Sadly Brian succumbed to the effects of being exposed to Agent Orange while in Vietnam.
He is survived by his brothers Ron "Jesse" and Joe and his sisters Anita, Tanya, Marlita, and Shery.
This is a combat related mission. There will be Dog Tags
