The family of Jay Vecchione, 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.
Jay Vecchione, 53, was born 1/19/65 in Providence Rhode Island, and moved to Garden Grove when he was 3 years old.
Jay enlisted in the Navy in February of 1983, and served as a Fire Control Technician on the Los Angeles class fast attack submarine USS Philadelphia (SSN-690), home-ported in Groton, CT. He was part of a five man group tasked with maintaining the weapons systems and combat readiness of the submarine. He served 6 years until February 1989.
After his military service, Jay worked as a security guard for several companies most recently in a management position for Experian Corporation.
