The family of Arthur Valentine De Armond has invited Patriot Guard Riders to attend his services and honor him, and it will be our privilege to do so.
Arthur served in the U. S. Army in the Korean war 1951-53, achieving the rank of SPC-5 at discharge. Following his military service he was a truck driver, driving primarily for Transcon Freight Lines for some twenty years. In his spare time he loved to hunt, fish and go bowling.
Arthur is survived by his wife Jessie, children David, Richard, Doreen and Michelle; and fifteen grandchildren. Son Richard is a fellow Patriot Guard Rider from the Hemet area.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran and father of a PGR Brother.
