The family and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their Hero, PFC Jesus Vera, age 19, at his arrival to his family and his funeral. We will be honored to be there.
PFC Jesus Vera was serving with the US Army when he experienced a heart attack while in training and sadly passed away.
We are honored that the family has asked us to be there as he returns home and at his funeral and military honors. We are very saddened for his family, both blood and military, for their loss. This Hero will not be forgotten.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the airport to the mortuary, approx 10 miles. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the mortuary, we will meet you there.
