ABOUT THE MISSION:
Fellow PGR members, we have been requested by the family of CW5 Ron Howard (retired) to attend and show honors for his final mission. Mr Howard spent 31 years on active duty with the US Army serving in Vietnam and a number of other duty stations. He was awarded the Vietnam Service Badge, Combat Infantry Man Badge, Airborne School, Flight School, MSM, and Air Medal along with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Little Birds) medal. After retirement he formed a company which builds aircraft used to fight terrorism all over the world. He was also an avid motorcyclist.
We will provide a flag line for the visitation followed by an escort to his final resting place. They are expecting upwards of 500-700 at his service where we will honor this true American Hero.
