Duane Lawrence

From KRDO News:

“Public invited to honor USMC veteran being buried at Pikes Peak National Cemetery”

The Colorado Patriot Guard Riders want people to show up at the Pikes Peak National Cemetery on Thursday to help honor a veteran who will have no family present at his burial. Duane Lawrence, a veteran of the US Marine Corps, will be interred at noon on Thursday. PPNC and the American Legion Post 209 are organizing honors for Lawrence. According to the Patriot Guard Riders, Lawrence is an unaccompanied veteran with no family or representatives in the area.

^ I hope that both active-duty soldiers, veterans and ordinary people will show their respect and attend Duane Lawrence’s funeral. Here is some more information about the event: “The Colorado Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to stand in honor of Duane Lawrence, USMC, for final honors on Thursday, Dec 19th, 2019, at Pikes Peak National Cemetery. Mr. Lawrence is an unaccompanied veteran for this service, meaning he has no family or representatives in the area. The director of PPNC has asked us to stand for him. 11:15AM Stage, PPNC 10545 Drennan Rd., Colorado Springs 11:30AM Brief 11:45AM, KSU for committal shelter.” Showing this last respect is the least we can do for someone who risked everything and now has no family to attend.
