The family of US Army Disabled Veteran Bruce Bobo, Jr. has requested the Patriot Guard Riders stand to honor his service to our nation at his visitation Wednesday October 26, and his memorial service and interment ceremony Thursday, October 27. After the Army, Bruce continued his service to his country working for the Lehigh Valley Hospital. He was involved in EMS, amateur radio clubs, LVHN Emergency Management, and was the Lehigh County ARES Emergency Coordinator. He provided emergency communications at Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Sandy, 911 in NY and many local emergencies and community organizations.
