The family of Noble 'Al' Hice have requested the Patriot Guard Riders to attend and honor their hero at his services. It would be our privilege to do so.
Al Hice served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era, he was stationed in Japan and achieved the rank of E4 before his honorable discharge. He was always very proud of his service to our country.
Al later went back to college and got his degree and worked in the manufacturing field for the remainder of his career. Al loved riding his Harley and also going fishing with his boys. He also had a Chevy Nova he enjoyed restoring.
Al is survived by his wife of 47 years, Nancy, sons Steven and Matthew, and 3 grandchildren.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church services to his final resting place. 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.
