My prayers go out to the family and friends of Pfc. James J. Arellano.
May God strengthen and comfort you in this time.
I believe that all of heaven has already welcomed home Pfc. Arellano.
Now it is time for us to welcome home this American Hero.

A simple verse for this hero:
Soar now like an eagle in the sky, as over all you’ve known you fly,
Soar up and into the light, Heaven’s gate is now in sight
Enter the fulfillment of your belief, where there is no sorrow or grief,
Safe now from all that harms, rest in God’s loving arms.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a confirmed mission. Pfc is currently in Dover and is expected to return to Cheyenne on Friday. No confirmed time and place yet for services. Services are expected to be on Monday or Tuesday (28th or 29th August). When the CAO has the confirmed time and place he will call me and I will recon and post.
Thanks again to all those who have and will show respect to this fallen hero from Cheyenne, Wyoming. |

| Colorado Spring riders stage at the Denny's @ I-25 and N Academy. Stage at 5:30 kickstands up at 06:00. I am not sure if I will be able to attend SO if I am not ready to go at 06:00 DO NOT WAIT for me. DEPARTURE IS 06:00 I know that Bram will be there to take the lead if I am AWOL. I would request that you try to meet the Denver group at the Cracker Barrel at 120th and I-25. They are departing at 08:00 from that location. |

My sincerest thanks and condolences to the Arellano family and friends.
If I can get the day off work, I'll take the cage from Denver. It's my son's first day back to school, but I can drop him off and be at the staging area by 07:30.

PFC Arenallo, Rest. Words are poor but simple expressions of overwhelming gratitude for your service and selfless sacrifice. The heartfelt anguish of the loss of your camaraderie and companionship by friends and family is but a small expression of your importance to those who knew you.
To the family and friends of PFC Arenallo, the prayers of nations are with you. May you feel the gratitude of all who could not stand where your soldier stood, taking a stand against those who prey on all that is good. Your loved one is now standing watch above, lending strength through a lifetime filled with memories of fun, mischief and genuine friendship that he shared with you. God bless you and be with you always.
Departing Lander by 0530; depart Rawlins at 0745. If anyone is interested in meeting up along the way, please let me know.
