| The sad loss of Brian Kubik is the gain of liberty. The light of his life being added thereto increases the brightness of her promise to those that would find shelter in her arms. So, my deepest condolence to those Brian leaves behind. If invited, to personally attend his final laying to rest would be, for me, a deep honor and distinct privilege . |

PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO SERVED
DEAR GOD,
This prayer lord,that i say tonite
Is for our troops who all must fight.
These are the troops that we all love
And so i pray dear lord above
Please keep them safe while they're away
And bring them home to us someday.
This prayer is not for ours alone
But for all military far from home.
I ask you to keep them safe and sound
On their way to where there bound.
We love them all that are asked to fight
So keep them safe for us tonight.
Lord hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts
they perform for us in our time of need.
AMEN

God Bless you PFC Kubik for giving your all. I will be there to escort you to your final guard post. My prayers are with the family and friends and the First Strike soldiers 'Widow Makers" forever.
“Rest your head now, weary soldier. Cast your weapons to the ground. Close your eyes and feel the peace. The light of Jesus fold around. Heed not our earthly battle cries. There is no post for you to stand. So rest now as he carries you within His loving hand. Do not look back upon us. Disregard our selfish tears. Walk in the sunlight of the spirit free of war or pain and fear. Your duty here is done now as ours will someday be, so go with Him now to places only heroes ever see.”

NOTE: An after-mission meet & greet will be held at Boston’s Restaurant in Killeen, Texas from 1530 until y’all all get tire and go home. Boston’s has offered all PGR a 10% discount on entrees and will provide some free finger foods and non-alcoholic beverages.
Weather: It will be Texas HOT for each mission, with highs expected near 102 degrees, partly cloudy skies and a 40% chance of isolated T-storms, so it will be HOT and HUMID.
Hydration starts before participating in any mission. Prepare yourself the day before by drinking plenty of liquids the day before. Bring lots of water on your bike/cage and stay hydrated. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink, you’ve waited too long and are in danger of heat injury. Some water will be provided by Dorothee Ingram (we will pass the hat to help her recoup her expenses) at each mission site.
Safety: Four separate Law Enforcement entities will provide escort during some mission phase. Therefore, it is not necessary for anyone to block traffic on their own. This practice is illegal. Thus, we will respect the laws of Texas and each community we pass through. Road Guards will be selected at each staging site prior to KSU to assist LEO’s as needed.
Departure : All members are requested to complete the Liability Releases prior to safety briefing. The safety briefing will begin at 1015 hrs. Departure (KSU) for St. Paul Chong Hasang Catholic Church will at 1030 hrs. All bikes will present a uniform appearance with flags flying as we ride approximately 3 miles to the church in a staggered formation.
Please note: We will have some down time between church and cemetery service, so remain flexible as to mission requirements during the day.
Please remember that our mission is to honor this fallen soldier and pay our respects to her family. Stand tall and be proud as we salute an American hero.
