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.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased]

The command and family members were overcome with the display of support by the Patriot Guard Riders. There Commanding Officer would like to pass on a Bravo Zulu ( Well Done ) to the Patriot Guard.ff
It was a cold night, However it was a warm welcome: I would like to say thank you to all the PGR members... with out you this would not have been possible.
It was my honor to be your ride captain.

** Also noteworthy was the Traffic Officers of Norfolk Police Dept. They rolled in to the Staging area, stayed with the PGR contingent, and then executed a flawless escort from the Airport to the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, VA. I was in awe of their techniques that enable the motorcade to safely transit the major throughfares of Norfolk. You assistance and dedication was very much appreciated by all. With Respect, Woody Wagner, Senior Ride Captain, Hampton Roads - Virginia Asst. State Captain.
