ABOUT THE MISSION:
Marvin faithfully served in the US Marines between 1961-1971; he served two combat tours in Vietnam. Upon completion of those tours, he led security elements of the U.S. Embassy in Iran, Cyprus, Vietnam and Libya. His family has requested the Patriot Guard Riders stand in honor of their loved one during his final services.
Because of the extreme short notice, we understand if attendance is an issue for most folks, but if you are able to make it to either the service at the Mortuary, or the interment service at the cemetery, it will be greatly appreciated. See staging times for both services below.
