[PGR_PA_r12] Fwd: Mission Submission - Pennsylvania Honor Mission Ralph "Sarge" Alan DeLorme USA , Vietnam

[Assistant State Captain West]

*Dear Members,*

*I am sad to report the passing of Ralph DeLorme. For those of you who
didn't know Ralph, he was a past PA Patriot Guard Rider Assistant State
Captain, an Army Lifer, a super Patriot and a really good guy. Knowing
Ralph was an experience in life, he could be dead serious at one time and
at another he could have you cracking up with laughter. Not everybody got
along with Ralph, but nobody denied is loyalty to our country or to the
Patriot Guard Riders. Ralph was a man among men and his contributions to
what we do are many. I am one of many who called Ralph a friend and I am
one of many who will miss him dearly.*

*If you can make this mission or any part of this mission, please do so.
Ralph DeLorme deserves to have a strong PGR presence as he went out of his
way for so many. I urge you to pay your respects and to let the family know
that Ralph and all of his efforts were important. Ralph was one special
person . . . may he rest in Peace with the Angels*
