Sergeant Ronald Mosner had many accomplishments. He honorably served as a United States Marine, enlisting and serving in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years,1954 to 1958. He trained as a field radio operator at Camp Pendleton before being assigned to the 3rd Shore Party Battalion at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. In 1957, the Corps transferred him to Camp Lejeune, NC where he was assigned as a radio operator in the 1st Battalion, 2d Marine Regiment. With that unit, he deployed to Isla de Vieques, Puerto Rico, on exercise. After attaining his final rank, he reached his end of active service and chose to return to civilian life.

Following his service, Ronald returned to the Chicago Area in 1959, he became a master carpenter and raised a family.

Ronald was an active member of the Marine Corps League. While serving, he helped revive the Black Mountain Detachment when he retired to Henderson in the mid-1990's. He served in every capacity at Detachment level, and stepped up to become Paymaster and later Commandant for the Department (State-level) of Nevada. Ronald was also a member of Devil Dogs Pound 176, Pack of Nevada, degree of Devil Dog, Dog Robber od Pound 176 and Pack of Nevada. He played a significant role as Auditor in restructuring the finances of #186, was active in fund raisers for the Black Mountain Detachment, most of which was for the youth program Devil Pups of Southern Nevada, and a Southern Nevada Devil Pups and Youth Leadership Authority Honorary Board Member. In addition, Ronald was awarded the honor of Marine of the Year for the Department of Nevada, and was a life member of the Marine Corps League, the Korean War Veterans, and the VFW.

Sgt. Ron Mosner was the absolute and unequivocal backbone of the Southern Nevada Devil Pups (SNDP) program, for the past twenty years. The extensive success of the program is because of Sgt. Mosner's relentless commitment to benefiting teens in the Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City communities. Sgt. Mosner consistently dedicated his time supporting many veteran’s organizations. However, besides his eternal love for his wife, Nancy, SNDP was his passion and it showed through a variety of measures. His dedication ensured hundreds of teens their attendance in the ten-day Devil Pups encampment. Additionally, Sgt. Mosner would spend his own personal time and money to acquire supplies needed for teens in need.

He was loved and respected by many in the Las Vegas community for his no-nonsense approach and ability to get things done. His absence will be felt by many for years to come. His favorite statement "Get off your ass and on your dying feet"
