The family of US Army Air Corp, WWII Veteran Charles ‘Chuck’ Boyd has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their Hero for his service and his sacrifice to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Chuck served in the US Army Air Corp from 1941 to 1945, attaining the rank of Sgt. He was awarded the Bronze Star, Presidential Citation, National Defense Award, Marksmanship Award, and many others.
In civilian life Chuck was an avid boat racer, breaking records in K-Class boat speed races. He was also a night club owner and operator in the Los Angeles area, and was known to love the crap tables in Las Vegas.
Chuck is survived by his wife Holly and three sons, Kenton Boyd, Steven Price and Chuck Boyd, Jr.
