PART 2 OF A 2-PART MISSION
The United States Army and the family of PFC Katherine Medellin have requested the Patriot Guard Riders accompany their Hero from the church to her final resting place for burial and military honors. It will be our privilege to participate in this accompaniment.
PFC Katherine Medellin was a beacon of dedication and selflessness, whose life was a testament to the highest ideals of military service and compassionate caregiving. Through her commitment at HCC D.D. Eisenhower Medical Center, she left an indelible mark on many lives.
Katherine Medellin is survived by her parents, mother, Juana; father, Jesus; and two sisters, Melanie and Diana. She also leaves behind other family members, friends, and fellow service members in mourning.
