In Memoriam: Jose Enrique "Ricky" Quinones

Marine Corps League Yankee Detachment #255  April 10, 2020  , ,   No comments

Jose, a member of both American Legion Post #620 and chaplain of Marine Corps League Yankee Detachment #255 was a dedicated member from the moment he stepped on board. His untimely passing has left a tremendous void in both our organizations and sorrow in all our hearts. I ask that all remember and pray for Jose and his family at this most difficult time.

Hand Salute, Rest In Peace Brother.
