The family of Zar Ben Omar has requested the Patriot Guard to pay Honors for this American Hero. It will be our privilege to do so.

Zar was born on June 28,1948 and passed on Dec. 9, 2017. During that time Zar finished his schooling and went into the United States Marine Corp.

Dec. 1st 1969 Zar went into the Marines. Expecting to get orders for Vietnam he readied himself for the call. Zar was instead sent to Okinawa. He served with Honor and Pride.

Zar was very happy to carry on the tradition of the Marines in Honoring God, Family, and Country.

During Zars time in the Marines he served in both Okinawa for a year and half and then finished his tour in Long Beach.During Zars 4 yr enlistment he attained the rank of Sgt.  Zars enlistment ended on May 15, 1973.

It was at that time Zar decided he and his lovely bride Beulah would travel around and see the world. Zar in between traveling with his lovely bride managed to earn his Doctorate in Metaphysics in 1996.

Zar was also a deeply spiritual man, which his wife said made him such a loving man to both his family, and his fellow man..

This past December Zar was called home to another mission, and to wait for his beautiful bride. Zar leaves behind his loving wife,  Beulah Mary Omar, one son Taylor, he also leaves behind 3 step children, Bridgette, Nartea, and Jonathan, also seven Grandchildren, and seven Great- Great Grandchildren.
