Part 2 of 2 Parts
The family of SGT Anthony Rosales, age 20, and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to accompany them to the cemetery for his final honors, we are privileged to do so.
SGT Rosales was serving at Ft Bliss, TX as part of the D Battery, 2nd Battalion, 43rd ADA Regiment,11th ADA BDE at the time of his passing in a vehicle accident off base. He had served nearly 3 yrs and had excelled in his position achieving the rank of Sergeant in a very short time. He was well respected by all those above and below him in rank, and was very proud to be serving his country.
SGT Rosales is survived by his wife who is an active duty Soldier, his mother and father, and many other family members and friends. He will be dearly missed by all and never forgotten.

"Standing For Those Who Stood For Us"
"Riding With Respect”
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 participate 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. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
