Cardenas died March 10 at the age of 102. He was brought in a horse-drawn carriage to the funeral ceremony which included full military honors
Cardenas’ son, Michael, told ABC 10News of his father’s legacy,"I think over the years I finally figured it out that it wasn't about trying to match his achievements. It was really trying to be the kind of guy he was. And he loved his country. He loved being an American.""He had an amazing presence, a commanding presence,” said longtime friend George Welsh."Bob was all anything and everything that had to do with veterans, especially this city.
Locally, Cardenas is known for also helping push for the creation of his final resting place, the Miramar National Cemetery.
