LTC Donald T. McPherson, Retired
USAF ANG, USAFR
MULTI-CITY, Georgia - 20 Mar 2017
ABOUT THE MISSION:
I am saddened to report that our nation has lost another long term veteran. LTC McPherson’s family has asked the Patriot Guard Riders to stand for their Hero and it will be our honor to do so. LTC McPherson served his country for thirty years, first entered the USAF, serving as an officer during the Korean War, and then serving in the USAF Reserve and Air National Guard, retiring in 1989. During this period he also worked for Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati, OH. He then retired to Woodstock, GA where he enjoyed golf and travel.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, four sons, 10 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. LTC McPherson lost his battle with life on 9 Mar 2017 at the age of 88.
We will stand a flag line at 10:00AM, one hour prior to the service at 11:00AM at Woodstock Funeral Home. After the service we will escort LTC McPherson to his final rest at the Georgia National Cemetery for his 1:30 service.
