The family of Petty Officer 1st Class Dwayne Smalls, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor this hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
PO1 Smalls, 29, served his country for 6 years in the US Navy and was stationed in San Diego. He had previously been deployed to the Western Pacific.
PO1 Smalls is survived by his wife, Dominique, who is also in the Navy.
We will provide a Flag Line at the mortuary, an accompaniment to the church for a service, and a Flag Line at the church.
NOTE: This hero was Active Duty so there will be tags for this mission. NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the mortuary to the church. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the church, we will meet you there.
