The family of Harold Frederick Palmquist have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor this Hero for his service to our country. It will be our privilege to do so

Harold served in the United States Air Force from 14SEPT61 to 13SEPT67, and then continued to serve in reserves until 19OCT79. He saw duty in Vietnam and rose to the rank of TSgt (E6).

After his time in the Air Force, Harold became an Electronics Engineer. His hobbies included woodworking, camping, softball and was also an avid griller.

Harold is survived by  his wife, two children, two grandchildren and two brothers.
