The Patriot Guard Riders of Pennsylvania have been invited by Operation Vet Now, to stand in silent honor for the Fallen Heroes that were assigned to the 14th Quartermaster, U.S Army Reserves.
The 25th of February 2021 marked the 30th Anniversary. On the evening of the 25th of February of 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, an Iraqi scud missile plunged into the Barracks/Warehouse used to house U.S. Army Soldiers assigned in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. As a consequence of this Scud Attack, 28 soldiers died, 110 were hospitalized, and 150 experienced minor physical injuries and/or subsequent PTSD,Post-traumatic stress disorder.
