About the Mission:

The Patriot Guard Riders have been asked to escort and stand a Flag Line honoring the service of F1c Walter F. Schleiter USN. On December 7, 1941, F1c Schleiter was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the ship resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including F1c Walter F. Schleiter USN.
