Our debt to the Heroic men and Valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid . They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices
(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.

I would like to thank everyone at PGR and particularly Rich and Robert who welcomed home and escorted my son Marcus home from the airport on Wednesday. It was rainy but that didn't stop the dedication of these two gentlemen. The heartfelt respect that was shown and all the special treatment, including the salute, hugs and all, will never be forgotten. Thank you all for doing what you do.

With sincere gratitude,
Leonard Land

One more note: I forgot to mention Bryan Harris with the Scottish American Military Society who was also there to greet Marcus. Bryan presented Marcus with a very nice certificate of appreciation and was also very much a part of the memories, all of which will never be forgotten.

Again,

Thanks to all,
Leonard Land
