Patriot Guard and Associates:

We are called to stand a Flag Line at an Honor and Remember Flag presentation to a Gold Star Mother.

Melissa Steinhilper, the mother of Hayen Charles Steinhilper,  who was currently serving with the US Navy as a member of SEAL Team 10 as Operations Specialist Second Class, will receive the Flag.  Hayden tragically passed away on October 16^th, 2023 while on Active Duty.

Hayden joined the US NAVY and was excited for this new chapter in his life. Following his initial training, he was assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln where he would spend the next five years working as an Operations Specialist. While on the ship, Hayden participated in two long deployments, rapidly increased his rank, traveled to many countries, and built meaningful and valuable friendships. In active service, he sacrificed holidays, events, and time with those who love him at home. While he was missed, one could only remain in gratitude as he was living the journey of his choice.

We will provide a Flag Line at the ceremony which will be about 15 minutes long.

ASC Gregg Barratt will be RCIC (860-394-0732) and flags will be onsite.

God Bless America, Our Troops and Our First Responders.
