The family of Louis Gregory Laurenzana have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany this Hero to Miramar National Cemetery. We will be honored to do so.
Louis served in the U.S. Navy from 6-12-44 to 6-3-46. He was stationed in Saipan as a Storekeeper Third Class, proudly serving his country and being honorably discharged after being awarded the World War II Victory Medal and WWII Asiatic-Pacific Medal among others.
In civilian life Louis was an advanced biology teacher at Mission Bay High School in San Diego. Several of his students went on to be doctors as well as one that was awarded a Nobel Prize.
Louis is survived by his wife Bernadette, children Lou and Gemma and four grandchildren.
