The family of SGT Robert P. Arteaga, age 23, and the US Army have invited the PGR to accompany their Hero from the airport to the funeral home as he is brought home for his military honors. It will be our privilege to do so.
Robert Arteaga was serving with the US Army as part of the 3-4 BCT at Ft Carson, CO at the time of his passing. He was an exemplary Soldier in every way, and has been posthumously promoted in rank to Sergeant as an example of his outstanding performance of duties. He will be missed by all those who served with him.
SGT Arteaga is also survived by many family members and friends and will be never forgotten.
