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.

Of the 28 that were killed in the line of duty, 13 of those Soldiers were
assigned to the 14th Quartermaster that gave the ultimate sacrifice,
Operation Vet Now has invited us, to honor all.
