The Patriot Guard has been invited to accompany PFC Mikhailjohn Gaviola on his final journey and be present to honor him at his service. We are proud to do so.
Mikhailjohn Gaviola was a proud member of the 25th Infantry Division and was serving in Hawaii.
Mikhailjohn is survived by his wife and loving family.

For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the mortuary to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate.
