Patriot Guard Riders

updated 03 MAY 16@1740est ArmySSG

The family of Mr. Allen has requested PGR to stand in honor of their loved one and provide an escort to his final duty station at Beaufort National Cemetery.

Mr. Galloway served our Nation during WWII. After 20 years SFC Galloway transferred to the U.S. Army Reserves where he continued to serve our Nation. Allen received the National Defense Medal with OLC along with the Army Commendation Medal.

After his service to our Nation he became partners in the funeral home now known as Allen Funeral Home. He and his son the Rev. Allen Galloway purchased and ran the business until his health prohibited further activity. Allen Funeral Home insures all veterans receive the honor and respect they have earned. They also inform the families of our veterans of our existence and what we do, resulting in frequent missions to honor our veterans. Rev. Galloway and his staff are true patriots through their actions and always extend the highest respect and appreciation to the PGR.
