CONFIRMED MISSION - CTSVC
1SG Ralph M Sprinkle, 49, US Army, Retired, Operation Desert Storm & Iraqi Freedom Veteran, Bronze Star Recipient, OF Copperas Cove, TX - 20140728
The family of First Sergeant Ralph Sprinkle has requested the presence of the Patriot Guard Riders at the Memorial Service of their Loved One.
First Sergeant Sprinkle passed away unexpectedly on Dec 11, 2013. Due to unforeseen circumstances his family was unable to come to Texas and we were forced to call a stand down on his mission. Crawford-Bowers in Killeen graciously had him interred in March of this year. His family is now in Killeen and are having Full Military Honors for him at the Veterans Cemetery.
