ABOUT THE MISSION:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Patriot Guard Riders, we have been requested by family and friends of Joe Nikodym (G.I. Joe) to provide a flag line for his memorial service.

Joe graduated from Crater High School in 1967 and immediately joined the Army where he served 13 years, 10 years as Drill Sergeant. Joe came home to S.
