The family of GySgt Gregory J. Mullins, 31, of Bayou L'Ourse, LA has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their fallen Hero.
 
GySgt Mullins was one of four Marines killed while on duty at Camp Pendleton on Wednesday, 13 NOV 13.
 
Gunnery Sgt. Gregory J. Mullins, 31, of Bayou L'Ourse, La., was the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Staff Noncommissioned Officer-in-Charge assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton. He joined the Marine Corps in March 2002, and was promoted to his current rank in February 2013. Mullins' awards include two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals, Combat Action Ribbon, three Marine Corps Good Conduct Medals, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and NATO Medal-ISAF Afghanistan. He deployed twice to Afghanistan in 2011 and 2012 as a team leader.
 
Gy/Sgt Mullins grew up in a small town in Louisiana, so small there is only one grocery store in town, much of his family still lives there.  He is remembered as kind, generous, responsible and heroic, he was the small town Hero.  His small town, Bayou L'Ourse, Louisiana, is in shock and mourns his passing.
 
Gy/Sgt Mullins is survived by his wife and his three small children, and many other family members and friends.
