    Major William Dippo Jr. US Army WWII Veteran

    The Patriot Guard has been invited by the family to stand and honor William Dippo Jr. for funeral and interment services on Wednesday (Jan 22) at 12:15pm. William retired as a Major from the Army after 20+ years, during which time he served in WWII in the 11th Armored Division of General Patton’s 3rd Army, where he participated in serveral military campaigns throughout Europe including the Battle of the Bulge, and liberated with his unit, the infamous Mauthausen Concentration Camp in Austria. Funeral services will be held at Porter Loring Mortuary (downtown), where the PGR will form a flag line, then move in procession (LEO escort in place) to Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery for interment services with military honors. If available, please try to attend to honor one of our Veterans and help support the family during their time of loss.
