Part 1 of 2 Parts
The family of SGT Anthony Rosales, age 20, and the US Army have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present as their Hero arrives home to his family 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.
