This is Part 1 of a 2 part mission. The family of
Specialist Nickolas D Celedon has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
SPC Celedon, 24, proudly served in the US Army from 2014 to 2017. He was with HHB 2nd Battalion, 32nd Field Artillery Regiment, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This unit is known as “Proud Americans” and is part of the 101st Airborne Division’s air assault artillery unit for the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
Nickolas is survived by his parents, 3 brothers and 1 sister.
The family has asked that we meet this hero as he arrives at San Diego Airport and accompany him and family to the mortuary.
This mission involves an aircraft arrival. Arrival times can change at the last minute so please check this thread for any last minute changes
before leaving. NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero 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.
