ABOUT THE MISSION:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Patriot Guard Riders, we have been invited to stand for Francis Loren Kohlasch, age 33. Francis served in the US Navy from 17 July 1946 to 28 October 1947. He served on the USS LST 828; the USS Mataco (ATF-86); and the USS LSM 436. He received the World War II Victory Medal. In 1962 he was killed by a hit and run driver in California and was buried in a paupers grave. Now 60 years later the Navy has had his name engraved on an upright obelisk, which will be placed at the Crescent Grove Cemetery in his memory. Mr. Kohlasch was the grandson and nephew of the Tigard brothers who founded Tigard Oregon. Please join us as we pay our long overdue respect and honor for his service to our nation.
