Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Army Veteran Ralph Hagihara.

Ralph served with 3rd Special Forces Group from 1962 to 1965 with one tour in Vietnam.

After separating from the Army, Ralph earned his bachelor’s degree in engineering from UCL and joined McDonnell Douglass Astronautic Corporation where he designed and evaluated missile guidance systems for Department of Defense.

Ralph passed away this past Memorial Day.

We honor his service.
