20 November, Pete Blodgett, US Navy Veteran, Denver, CO

 

Pete Blodgett, a US Navy Veteran and previous coworker to Ronnie “Crippie” Jost passed away Tuesday evening. The PGR will stand a flag line for Pete at the Ft. Logan service at noon on Thursday, 20 November.

 

Pete was bigger than life. His exuberance, countenance and effervescent laugh will be sorely missed. He was a friend and mentor to everyone.

 

Staging will be 1100 (11:00 am) at the Ft. Logan visitors center, which is located at 3698 S. Sheridan in Denver.

 

Ride Captain to be determined.

 

Thank you.

Stand down now and rest, your watch has been relieved. I worked for this man indirectly in the Navy and directly in civilian life. Pete was truly an unsung hero for his part in defending our nation. It will be an honor standing for this man.

Honored to Stand for those who have stood.

our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them
to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our
children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
