The family of Michael Douglas Lord has invited us to help honor his life and service to our country.  We are honored to do so.

Michael Douglas Lord served his country in the US Army in Vietnam from Nov. 1966-Aug 1968.  He was a Corporal in the Big Red One at time of discharge.  He earned a National Defense Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and the Vietnam Campaign Medal.

After his discharge, he worked as a Restaurant Manager and then a Title Insurance Representative for 38 years.  His interests were both playing and watching golf, travel and fellowship with friends.

Michael is survived by his wife of 48 years, Glenda, children Wendi, Tammy and Michael Jr.  He also left behind 3 grandchildren (one due this April) and 3 great-grandchildren.

Michael’s death was a result of cancer due to exposure to Agent Orange.

This is a Combat Related death and Dog Tags will be available.
