CPL Scott Cole was a wonderful person, from a wonderful family. His sacrifice will not be forgotten by any who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a sweet soul and I thank him for my freedom. I am so humbled by the inspiration and patriotism that has touched my heart as I have read all the heartfelt thoughts from all of the PGR. What an amazing bunch of people you all are. I know the family, friends and community of Hiawatha will be so proud and comforted with all of your support participation in our final salute to Scott. God Bless you all and God Bless America |

May the family and friends of CPL Jeremiah Cole find comfort in the fact that a brave soldier has unselfishly served to protect others he did not know. What greater gift could one give. I am repeatedly impressed by the didication and willingness of the American people to do good.
May God grant you the peace only He can give. Will be waiting for further updates on arrangements and times. Will ride with pride. |

You have my deepest sympathy and my utmost respect for the loss of your hero, Jeremiah. I believe there can be no higher calling than to risk ones life in defense of another. I thank God for SPC Cole's and your sacrifice to protect our country, families as well as all those who want to be free. May God bless and comfort you.
Unfortunately the Farmer's Daughter and I will not be to return to my home town to join all of you on this trip. Our prayers go out the family and friends of SPC Cole, and I we will be there in spirit. We will hold everyone of the PGR in our thoughts for a safe and respectful ride. Keep the rubber on the road and all please be safe. Until we see you all again, God Speed.

| aj_junky....we have asked Arch Angel to select a staging point for us in Falls City also. Can you coordinate with him and do a single point where riders coming in from all directions can meet? See the Virtual Ride Schedule in the Nebraska Forum under Cpl. Cole/Hiawatha topic. Once we have your place and time, we will plan backwards for our departure time. Thanks. |

As Arch Angel stated, there is a mission the day before this one just 16 miles north of Hiawatha. If anybody is planning on attending both missions, our doors are open. We have room for some people at our house, or if anyone wants to pitch a tent. My house is open to any member that needs a shower or a place to crash.

I am sorry that work makes me unavailable for Spc. Cole or Retired Viet Nam veteran Mr. Marshall Maddox on Monday and Tuesday. I will be there in spirit as nothing makes me prouder than to serve in honor of those who have served to make our country a better place.
I will continue to watch for the Escort Mission Ride.
Thank you to all the families who have opened their homes for us as we travel to these missions. When the evil continue to make us stronger, we have been successful. |
