Funeral Mission

   The family of Lawrence Eich has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to honor Lawrence with a flag line.  This invitation is an opportunity for the Patriot Guard to show our appreciation and respect for Lawrence’s service to his country in the U.S. Army during WWII.  He proudly answered his country’s call and entered the U. S. Army in 1942.  After basic training Lawrence was stationed at Minter Field in California and in November of 1944, Lawrence was shipped out to the European Front of WWII.
