What an honor it was for the Austin Patriot Guard Riders to take part in such a historic event.
TEC 5 Frank Alvarado 23, US Army WWII KIA. For the past 75 years Frank was unknown and had only a blank headstone. After years of research by the family they are finally able to have a headstone to identify him.
Seven Patriot Guard Riders including two from San Antonio gathered on a rainy day at the Austin Memorial Cemetery to stand a flag line for Frank’s family and friends. Two Patriot Guard Riders unfolded and refolded a casket Flag, and a bugler sounded live taps. We presented 3 flags to the nieces for their uncle’s honorable and faithful service.
Many Family members thanked us for being there to support them and to pay honor to TEC 5 Frank Alvarado
RIP
