E3 Jerry Cecil Lairsey, Veteran
USA - Vietnam
Thomasville, Georgia - 13 Jan 2018
ABOUT THE MISSION:
A week ago I was invited to meet with US Army, Vietnam Veteran E3 Jerry Cecil Lairsey in his home. Jerry was on Hospice and familiar with the Patriot Guard Riders. Jerry had requested to meet me to invite our Riders to accompany him on his last mission. I was proud to accept on behalf of the PGR.
Mr. Laisey served in the US Army from 1964-1967 including a tour in Vietnam attaining a rank of E3. He was very proud of his service and intended that it be recognized and Honored on his last day.
