The family of Manuel Esparza has invited the Patriot Guard to honor their loved one on his final journey, we are honored to do so.
Manuel, 87, proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Following his military service he worked as a burner operator in the clay industry for more than twenty years.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
