The family of SSgt Jason C. Hicks, USAF, has asked the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in honor of his service and sacrifice during the Memorial 5K that is conducted in his memory during the Memorial Day Weekend. We will be honored to fulfill their request.
Jason and five other U.S. Air Force Combat Search and Rescue airmen assigned to the 41st Rescue Squadron, Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, were killed in action in a HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter crash, while on a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan in 2003. This was before the PGR even existed, so we now have the opportunity to stand for him like we have for so many others.
The 5K race starts at 0930 (9:30 am) at the Pageland Community Center.
MISSION DETAILS: Saturday, 28 May 16
STAGING LOCATION: Pageland Community Center, 1113 W McGregor St, Pageland, South Carolina 29728
