Funeral Mission
July 29 & 30, 2018
Sioux Falls, SD
The family of Granade Francis “Harry” Harrigle has requested the Patriot Guard Riders to honor “Harry” with a flag line showing our respect and appreciation for his service to his country during WWII.
In 1943 Harry quit school and joined the United States Navy, later being attached to the “Fighting” Fourth Division of the United States Marines Corps. He served in the Pacific and on the islands of Iwo Jima, Saipan, Tinian, Okinawa, and Gaum. Harry was awarded four bronze stars and three purple hearts. Harry had a hard time accepting those medals. He said, “those belonged to the guys who didn’t come home.”
