The family of Eleuterio Maldonada has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their hero for his service to his country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Eleuterio Maldonada proudly served in the US Army 1950-1953. He served his country in the Korean War and was awarded the Purple Heart medal for being wounded in combat. Eleuterio achieved the rank of E-4 prior to his honorable discharge.
After the Korean War Eleuterio had a very humble beginning as a dishwasher in Los Angeles. He also was a truck driver, worked in a barber shop, and ultimately got his real estate license and became a broker. Eleuterio loved traveling and traveled to the Holy Land, Egypt, Rome, etc.
Eleuterio is survived by his wife Lilia, his 2 sons, Victor and Raymond, daughter Lilian and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
