Part 1 of 2 PartsThe family of SrA Lee Talamantes, age 21, and the US Air Force have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present for the arrival of their Hero as he is returned home to his family in So Calif for burial. We will be honored to do so.
Senior Airman Lee Talamantes joined the United States Air Force, after graduating from Cathedral City High School in 2019 where he mentored students in the Cathedral City Air Force Junior ROTC program. Additionally, he selflessly dedicated over 1000 volunteer hours to help uplift his community.
Talamantes assisted with feeding the homeless and senior communities of the valley with FIND Food, mentored young children in programs through the Desert Recreation District, helped renovate The Health and Wellness Center, and served veterans of the Coachella Valley through the VFW post-1534.
SrA Talamantes tragically lost his life in a traffic accident while on his way to report for duty to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona.
Lee Talamantes is survived by his parents and 3 siblings.
