THE WALL OF FACES

Patrick is buried at Golden Gate National Cemetery.

Pat was well liked and is remembered fondly by all who knew him from his hometown of Burlingame,Ca.
I am proud to have had him as my friend.

I pass by the your bridge everyday to work at the VA hospital in Palo Alto and I say a loud "HURRAH" every time I see your name by the entrance on both ways.

In August 2004, the California legislature renamed the Eugene A. Doran Memorial Bridge (on Interstate 280 in San Mateo County) as the Officer Eugene and Marine Lance Corporal Patrick M. Doran Memorial Bridge. This bridge won a prestigious award for its beauty.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
