This is Part 2 of a two part mission
The United States Army and the family of PFC Arath Esau Martinez-Arguelles have asked the Patriot Guard to be with them as they bring their son and hero home for burial.
PFC Martinez-Arguelles was a paratrooper and wheeled-vehicle mechanic assigned to the 6th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.
His commander described him as "a self-starter, who was always working as hard as he could and motivating those around him. He was always the first mechanic in his coveralls, ready to fix vehicles and forever had a smile on his face." and "a motivated paratrooper who inspired the paratroopers around him."
NOTE: This mission posting facilitates your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, please see the timetable if you would like to participate.
