PART 2The United States Air Force and the family of SSgt Jorge Delgado, 37, have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present as their hero is given military honors. We are privileged to attend.
Sadly, SSgt Delgado, assigned to the 341st Security Forces Squadron out of Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, died as the result of an accident involving an up-armored Humvee. Five others were injured in the accident.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate 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 airport to the mortuary, approximately five miles. Please see the timetable if you would like to participate.
NOTE: Due to this tragic accident, a gofundme account has been setup to help with current unexpected expenses and Jorge’s son, Aydan.
