The family of retired Chief Petty Officer Johnny Cipriano Pabelico 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.

Chief Johnny Pabelico, 79, served his country in the US Navy from 1958 to 1978, time that included duty in Vietnam.   He was honorably discharged at the rank of E-7, Chief Petty Officer. 

Chief Pabelico is survived by his wife Cora, daughter Jovy and his 3 sons, Jason, James and Joel.

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 and his family from the chapel service to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

NOTE: Each motorcycle rider should have registration and proof of insurance. You should also wear hard sole shoes, long pants, full-fingered gloves, a long sleeve outer garment, eye protection, and a DOT approved helmet. A brightly colored reflective vest is no longer needed but recommended.  Have your I.D. ready when you arrive at the gate.
