Through the support of our friends at Risher Mortuary, the Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to honor US Marine Corp Veteran Frank J. Rubenthaler for his service and sacrifice to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Frank Rubenthaler proudly served in the US Marine Corp from 1950 to 1953 and was awarded for Korean Service w/*** Stars, National Defense Service Ribbon and U.N. Service Ribbon & Medal.. He earned the rank of Sergeant (SGT) at discharge.
Frank was a computer programmer with the Park and Water company for 25 years and a Pari-Mutuel Teller at the Los Alamitos Race Track for 20 years. In addition, Frank was an active member at the Downey Elks Lodge 2020.
Frank did not have any family at time of death.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero from the Elks Lodge to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
The weather is predicted to be hot so please stay hydrated and don't forget to eat; it can make a difference with your ability to withstand the heat.
