The family of CPO Daniel Patrick Brown has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service. It will be our privilege to do so.
Dan Brown, 56, served his country in the United States Navy for 20 years (1982 to 2002). Dan served in the first Gulf War, Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
During his 20 years of honorable service, Dan was awarded several Good Conduct Medals, The Kuwait Liberation Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and the National Defense Medal. He also qualified for the Sharp Shooter ribbon.
After retiring from the Navy, Dan worked for the military as a contractor for 20 more years. He was an extremely dedicated and loving father of two sons, Patrick and Leonard. He also had an amazing marriage for 30 plus years with his wife, Angie. He is survived by both sons and his wife.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. All PGR members are welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
