This will be a 2 Part mission

Part 1 of 2 Parts

The family and the U.S. Marine Corps have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present for the return of this Hero as he comes back to the mainland, and also at his funeral to follow.  We would be honored to do so.

Cpl Lawrence Mark Aragon, 20, was serving in Hawaii with the U.S. Marine Corps when he fell in while on duty and subsequently passed away.  He will be sadly missed by his Marine family and all who knew him.

Cpl Aragon was very proud of serving in the Marine Corps and his family was very proud of his accomplishments.

Cpl Aragon is survived by a loving family and many friends in addition to his Marine family.
