Part 1 of a 2 Part Mission
The family of PFC Adrian Estrada, and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend this Hero's arrival home to his family and his funeral services. We will be honored to do so.
PFC Adrian Estrada enlisted in the US Army shortly after High School. He was stationed in the State of Washington at the time of his passing. PFC Estrada was driving down to So Calif to surprise his family and his girlfriend for Valentine's Day when he was hit by a suspected drunk driver near Redding, CA. and sadly was killed.
Adrian's family says they weren't surprised when he joined the Army. They say he was someone who always looked out for others.
"He was only 20 years old and he made an impact on everybody," said Francisco Estrada, Adrian's brother.
Adrian left a great impact on everyone's lives, his positivity and charisma will forever remain in our hearts. Adrian is survived by family, friends and his Army comrades as well.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the airport to the mortuary. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the mortuary, we will meet you there.
