The family of Marmon Payntar has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor their hero for his service and sacrifice to his country. We are honored to do so.
Marmon served in the United States Army 1946 to 1949, in the Pacific Theater at the end of WWII. His assignments in the Infantry included Motor Pool SGT and Supply SGT. Marmon attained the rank of Sgt E5 at the time of his discharge.
Following his army service Marmon was a tool and dye machinist on the east coast, later moving to California. He started a machine shop in Walnut, the Swingers Custom Motorcycle Shop, specializing in making custom motorcycle parts and accessories.
