ABOUT THE MISSION:
The Patriot Guard has been granted the privilege of standing a flag line of honor and respect for fallen hero, USMC CPL Thomas Palozola Jr., just as he once stood for every one of us. Hero Palozola served two tours in GWOT, and signed up for a third to accompany his younger brother for his deployment. In addition to keeping his country safe and preserving its freedoms, Veteran Palozola earned the rank of CPL E-4, and was awarded the Rifle Marksman Badge, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Certificate of Commendation (3 awards), Combat Action Ribbon (Afghanistan), Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Marine Corps. Good Conduct Medal, Meritorious Mast, National Defense Service Medal, Nato Medal-ISAF (Afghanistan), and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (3 awards).
Veteran Palozola will be missed by many, but will always be remembered as the “Big Brother” that always looked out for his siblings. Thank you Hero Polozola, your faithful dedication to serve the United States of America is deeply appreciated, and will never be forgotten.
