The family of Stuart Ulrich Brosch, 65, USMC, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It is our honor to do so.
Stuart served with the USMC in Vietnam (South Pacific) from January 1974 through January 1978 and then as a Reserve from January 1978 through January 1980. He served as a Power Plant Mechanic. Stuart was awarded the Expert Rifle Badge, National Defense Service Medal, and Good Conduct Medal. He was Honorably Discharged in 1980 as a Corporal.
After Stuart’s military service, he worked as a mechanic for a private contractor on the B1 Bomber Project, then as a mechanic refurbishing WWII aircraft for the last 26 years with Aero Trader at the Chino Airport.
Stuart is survived by his wife Teresa; children Chris, Jessica, Jeremy and Natillie; nine grandchildren; and sister, Tatja.
