ABOUT THE MISSION
Jack Odell Hill, Sr. answered his country’s call to service during the Vietnam War. He was most proud of his beloved US Marine Corps. As a Lance Corporal he served two tours “in-country” and was wounded twice – Two Purple Hearts.
Returning home from service he raised a family and was employed as a CDTA driver. One of his passions was riding his Harley Motorcycle. While living in Memphis his family knew of his passion for participating in the military honors funerals of veterans.
It will be a privilege for the Patriot Guard Riders to be there to render Honor, Dignity and Respect for the life and service of Jack Odell Hill Sr.
