The family of Commander N. Lee Bausch 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.
Commander N. Lee Bausch served proudly in the United States Navy from 1944 to 1974. Norman was in WW2 and is part of our Greatest Generation.
He was a stellar person in every regard throughout his 95 years here, serving for 30 years as a Navy pilot in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
His quick wit, sense of humor, rich worldly experiences, and love of family were so inspiring to everyone who knew him.
Please see the attached bio on this hero. There is so much amazing information about his life, I don’t think that it would all fit in this write up.
