Perry was killed by a bomb while serving in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in August 2003.
He served during Operation Desert Storm from 1990 to 1991 as a military police battalion officer charged with prisoner care. He later worked as a corrections officer at Wasco State Prison.
Perry is the first national guardsmen who lost his life in the post-9/11 conflict.
