The family of Jose Marquez Jr. has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service. It will be our privilege to do so.
Jose Marquez Jr., 74, served his country in the United States Army for 3 years (1969-1972). Jose was a Proud Vietnam Veteran having earned The National Defense, The Vietnam Service, and The Vietnam Campaign Medals. He was discharged as the rank of SP5 (T).
Jose fought in some tough battles during his service that disturbed him throughout his life but, he was always a patriotic soldier. As evident by his personalized license plate “VIETVET” he proudly displayed on all of his cars since he was discharged. He is survived by his two children: Bernadette and Joey.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all PGR members are welcome, we will be standing a Flag Line for Final Honors at Ft. Rosecrans. Please see the time table if you would like to participate.
