The family of Raymond Lawson has requested that the Patriot Guard take part in all aspects of the final services for their loved one in honor of his service to this Great Nation. It will be an honor and a privilege to stand for one who gave so much to our country. Ray served with the US Army from 1953-’55. He was assigned as a Radio Operator and an Operating Engineer.
After his honorable discharge Ray worked for McDonnell-Douglas Corp, and later Boeing Aircraft, until his retirement.
We will stand a silent flag line during his visitation and then provide an escort to Marine City Cemetery for Ray’s interment.
