Our assistance had been requested to honor the life and service of PVT Bradley W. Iorio on 10JUN09 in Egg Harbor City and Galloway Township, NJ. PVT Iorio is the latest casualty in the War On Terror and was serving in Iraq. He was assigned to the 1st Armored Division, Ft. Bliss, Texas. The Casualty Assistance Officer reached out to me on Saturday afternoon to inform me that the family had in fact decided to invite the Patriot Guard Riders to stand with them to help honor the service of this American Soldier.

The family will have a private viewing at the Wimberg, Lloyd – Wimberg Funeral Home, 400 Liverpool Avenue, Egg Harbor City, NJ on Monday, 08 JUN09 at 0900. At 1030, the family will leave the Funeral Home and proceed to the Trinity Alliance Church in Egg Harbor City for a church service at 1100. After the church service, the family will proceed to the Germania Cemetery, Moss Mill Road and Vienna Avenue in Galloway Township, NJ for final interment.
