WWII 2nd ID & KOREAN WAR VETERAN

The family of SFC/1SG (Retired) Lester L. Lockhart (98 yrs old), a US Army, WWII (2nd Infantry Division, Omaha Beach), and Korean War Veteran, requests the attendance and participation of the San Antonio Patriot Guard Riders at the graveside services and rendering of military honors of their loved one.

"Lester Lockhart was born and raised in a log cabin in the Texas Hill country and became as strong and sturdy as the live oaks that surrounded him. Like many of his generation, he was a child of the depression and left home at 14. Dad wore many hats in his life: hobo, bus driver, and Civilian Conservation Corp member. He eventually ended up in the military and landed on Omaha Beach and fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the Second Infantry Division."
