The family of Juan Ramiro Correa has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor this American Veteran; it will be our honor to do so.

With two and a half years of prior active duty service, Juan served in the U.S. Air Force from 1971 to 1975. While in the Air Force, Juan trained and worked as an Aircraft Environmental Systems Repairman. His awards/citations included the National Defense Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Air Force Good Conduct Medal, and Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. Juan was honorably discharged as a Sergeant from March Air Force Base, California.
Juan had a distinguished career with the Department of the California Youth Authority/Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, where he retired after many years of service.
Juan’s hobbies and interests included traveling, dancing, fishing, cooking, collecting badges and pins from around the world.

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 is your first mission, go to the initial staging area, and you will be briefed by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or wear casual attire if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent with honor and respect for our Heroes—no talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
