The family of Wilbur Wade Holston, Jr. has requested the presence of the Patriot Guard Riders at his funeral on October 11, 2008 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Mr. Holston is a Marine and served in Vietnam. All services will be conducted at Resthaven Funeral Home, at 11817 Jefferson Highway, Baton Rouge, LA 70816.

| Thank you PGR for standing in honor of my brother in law. Wade was diagnosed with cancer 12 years and given 2-3 years. It is a testament to his character, will, and Marine Corp tenacity that he lived a decade beyond that.

(President Harry S. Truman)
During these days of many trials and tribulations that our land of the free are facing, let us remember to hold our heads up high in remembrance for those who gave thier life for our freedom and those that are still in harms way for this cause. Pray for the brokenhearted and proclaim victory for those who are held captive. Lord, You are the light of the world and we declare You to be Lord over every nation. We know your light shines in darkness and the darkness does not always comprehend, but we also know You light will always prevail. Amen.
