The family of Joseph Paul Caruso has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Joseph Caruso was born in Syracuse, New York in March of 1944. In May of 1961 Joseph joined the United States Navy and served as an Aviation Electronics Technician. He completed two different schools for his rate and was honorably discharged in January of 1965.
Joseph leaves behind a daughter Joelle. Because of this difficult time for the family, additional information is being collected about Josephs military service and his civilian life.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the chapel service to his final resting place approx. 16 miles. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.

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.
Remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent 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. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we honor.
