The family of Carlos Carrasco has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to participate in their hero’s final journey. We are honored to fulfill this request.
Our hero served in The US Marine Corps from 5/1995 – 5/1999 and 5/2003 – 5/2022, a total of 24 years. He was honorably discharged at the rank of MSGT. Little is known about his service other than he deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a civilian, Carlos worked as an RV technician and serviced other RV owners during his travels.
Our hero is survived by two children, Alyssa and Carlos. He will also be missed by his mother, Stefani, sister Erica, and brother Justin.
Note: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested and all PGR members are welcome. We will be accompanying the Hero and his family from the Church to the Cemetery (approx. 37 miles). Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. If you prefer to meet the procession at the cemetery, please feel free to do so.
You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are 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 Ride Captain (RC). 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.
