Spc. Joshua M. Seals, 21, of Porter, Okla., died Aug. 16 in Paktia province, Afghanistan, from a non-combat related incident. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 279th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Oklahoma National Guard, Tulsa, Okla.
Yet again we were asked to honor a fallen hero from the 145th, and AA/TWU answered the call. Thank you all so much.
FYI, if anyone would like, we will be meeting Saturday 0800 at the QT at 145th at the BA expressway to attend the funeral of Spc Seals.

After an early and ever changing staging time we had 43 bikes, 4 trikes, and 5 cages that went on the air base. and about 15 other bikes and cages joined us once we left the air base.
After briefing we stood a flag line on the base for the family of SPC. Seals. we then joined the OHP, Tulsa, and Wagoner County Sherriff’s lead on the escort of the family to Mallett Funeral Home in Wagoner, which done a great job escorting us to Wagoner safely. once there we stood a respect line for the transferring of SPC. Seals to the Funeral Home.
