The family of Alex Anthony Ramirez, 63, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the military honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Anthony served in the US Army from 02/28/1977 to 03/30/1983. He was honorably discharged at the rank of Sergeant. His job duty was heavy anti-armor weapons infantryman. After his exit from the Army, Alex worked as a mechanic for over 30 years.
Alex is survived by his six children, daughters Charlie, Rocinda, Malory, and Samantha, and sons, Ignacio and Alexander. He is also survived by several grandchildren.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this military veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the chapel mortuary to the cemetery, approximately 60 miles. 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.
