The family of Daniel Partida, 79, 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.
Daniel was a United States Army Veteran who served in Vietnam. He served from 09/19/1967 to 08/11/1969. He was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and National Service Medal. After his honorable discharge, Daniel worked in the construction business for many years.
Daniel enjoyed several interests to include jazz music, the outdoors, volunteering at Mt. Sac track meets, track and field, monthly meetings with lifetime friends, and spending time with his family and grandchildren.
Daniel is survived by his wife Sandra, and four sons, Daniel, Arthur, Anthony, and James. He is also survived by a total of 13 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his brother Jess, and survived by brothers Joe, Richard, and Alfred.

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 will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the Ride Captain (RC). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and 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. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
