—————————————————————————————————————-
The Patriot Guard Riders have been asked to stand and honor WWII US Army Veteran,
Richard G. Schimmel. Richard served proudly in the United States Army. Richard enlisted in the Army in late August 1940 and was shipped to Oahu to join the newly formed Signal Aircraft Warning Service. His job was to become a plotter and switchboard operator at the information center at Fort Shafter, just east of Pearl Harbor. But first, he had to help install the mobile radar stations that would bring in the data. Radar was new technology that England had just shared with the U.S. Due to his assignment, Richard was the 5th person to know of the impending attack on Pearl Harbor.
Richard G. Schimmel is a true patriot who served his country with honor. Now it is our turn to stand and honor him.
