The family of Daniel Anderson, age 69, has asked the Patriot Guard to pay Honors on their Hero's final journey home. It will be our Honor to do so.
Daniel was born on 17 February 1950 and passed away on 7 June 2019.
Daniel enlisted in the U.S. Army 23 July 1970 and was discharged on 30 April 1972. He served our country during the Vietnam War and was a SP5 at the time of his discharge. He was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam service ribbon, and Vietnam Campaign Medal.
After his military service, Daniel worked as a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a wrangler in Ridgecrest, CA. He served as a wrangler for the California BLM for many years and was well known in the Indian Wells Valley as one of the best steer and horse wranglers ever to work out of the Valley.
He is survived by his wife, Leslie, and many family relatives and friends. Daniel was a quiet, gentle man and loved all.
He will be truly missed. God Speed Daniel..........................Rest in Peace.
