The family of Gabriel Sciaretta has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Gabriel was born on 18 February 1928 and passed away of natural causes at ninety-three years of age.
Gabriel joined the Marine Corps on 20 February 1946 and was honorably discharged on 07 December 1953. His awards/citations included the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. Gabriel rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant and remained in the Reserves until 1959
Gabriel’s only two family members choose to remain silent about him. They have the Parkridge Creek Mortuary to handle the arrangements for the cemetery, the Marine Corps Honor Guard, and the PGR.
The Patriot Guard is being asked to accompany Gabriel from Parkridge Creek Mortuary to Miramar National Cemetery.
Please observe the latest “COVID-19” restrictions.
NOTE: This mission posting facilitates 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 mortuary to his final resting place. Please see the timetable if you would like to participate. We will meet you there for those who would rather go directly to the cemetery.

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 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 while 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. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
