I were on the country cruise getaway, you are a group of amazing people. Cindy you are my inspiration you are an amazing woman, and to the soldiers who were present and to those who could not attend you have opened up my eyes to a reality that very few know. You all are my true heroes, without your sacrifice that country may not be what it is so from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you and thank you, because of you I am proud to say I am an American. 

I am a US Navy Vietnam Veteran '63-67. It is a wonderful thing your group is providing our wounded Heroes. I am a member of the Oregon Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) It is our job to offer our respect and services of fallen Heroes who have paid the ultimate price. We offer our support to shield the families from undesirable guest that appear to disrupt the funeral proceedings. We will meet the airplane transporting the Soldiers remains at the gate and escort the hearse of the fallen soldier to the mortuary. We will also attend the funeral services with our flag line and escort the family to the soldiers final resting place. We in the PGR do this with pride.

It is good work your group provides and I am sure the families of the wounded Soldiers appreciate what you are doing.

Thank you for all that have done. The men and women I know are greatful. May God Bless you and the troops. Pslams 91 says"God is my fortress and he is theirs fortress.
