The family of Vietnam Veteran Robert L. Kinkle 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.
Robert served in the US Air Force. His MOS was Scientist, Dept. of Aero Space Medicine and reconnaissance. He was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio before going to Vietnam where he flew photo reconnaissance missions during the War. At the time of his discharge, Robert had attained the rank of Captain.

He later moved to the state of California where he became an attorney practicing bankruptcy law throughout the rest of his life. He was also the General Counsel and Executive VP for Intratel - a communications company he started with some partners.
