The family of Ronald Robert De Marino, age 87, has invited The Patriot Guard Riders to escort Ronald, family and friends to Miramar National Cemetery, It would be an honor to do so.

Ronald's service to the country was spent in the US Army during the Korean War from 10/28/1953 to 10/27/1955. At the time of his honorable discharge he was the rank of PFC. In that time Ronald received the Korean War National Defense Medal, Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal.

After his service Ronald was a Professional Scout for the Kansas City Royals(MLB) for 25 years. He loved Latin Big Band Music, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin's music.

Ronald is survived by his son & daughter-in-law, Rob and Nicole De Marino and grandchild Camden De Marino. His wife Martha passed away in 2016. They will both be laid to rest together at MNC as he will receive Military Honors.
