About the Mission:
The family of 1LT Nicholas P. Manganiello has made the request for Patriot Guard Riders to stand and honor this true American. Lieutenant Manganiello, 25, formerly of Northport, NY, died tragically on December 11, 2022. Lieutenant Manganiello joined the US Marine Corps in 2019, and has been going to the Naval Aviation School to get his wings to pilot Osprey aircraft. He finished school earlier this month and was set to get his wings officially in January. Unfortunately he was taken from the Marine Corps and his family in a tragic accident. He will still be awarded his wings, now, so that he may be honored as a pilot as he is brought to rest.
