The family of Army Veteran Andy Grant has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor their hero for his service and sacrifice to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Andy proudly served with the U.S. Army from Feb 1969 to Feb 1971. He was awarded the National Defense Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Combat Infantry Badge, the Army Commendation Medal with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster, a Bronze Star and was rated Expert with both the M-14 and M-16.
After separation from the service, Andy worked in the construction field. In his spare time he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his children. The last few years they hunted Elk in New Mexico but were never able to find that elusive bull.
Andy is survived by his children, Tina, Tony, Tim and Chris. He also leaves behind 6 grandchildren with two more on the way.
