The family of Ricardo Sanchez, U.S. Army, WWII Veteran has requested the PGR be there to honor their Hero at his services.  It would be our honor to do so.
 
Ricardo Sanchez served from December, 1943 to January, 1947 in the U.S. Army and received a Purple Heart for his wounds in battle.  We have lost another of our "Greatest Generation".
 
He is survived by 2 brothers, 1 sister and nieces and nephews, and many friends, all who will miss him.
 
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church services to his final resting place.
