Gerald Robert “Buck” Bloomquist

We are extremely grateful to the Patriot Guard Riders who honored our Dad this past Friday morning, May 9th. And a special thanks to Terry Bloomquist, a fellow Patriot Guard Rider, who helped with this special event. My Dad, a Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps during WWII, served as a field radio operator in the Battle of Iwo Jima. He survived the full 36 days of battle while many thousands of Marines did not. Thank you again. We are forever grateful.
