Thank you Mr. Marshall Maddox for your service...My humblest of apologies for the behaviour when you came home from serving us in Viet Nam. I WISH I had been there to stand in your honor.
You will forever be a hero to the American nation.

God bless and keep your family. You remain in my heart and them in my prayers

By an odd set of circumstances I will be able to be there, must be Gods way of saying to attend.

One thing that I say to Vietnam Veterans when I meet them for the first time;

"Thank You for your service, Welcome Home"

Welcome home indeed.....

As much as I had planned to be at this mission, my father in law had a heart attack early Thursday and it has been an up and down situation all weekend that has consumed all of our time. So it is with great regret that I will not be able to make the mission. My prayers and thoughts are with the family of Mr. Maddox. Rest in peace Sir, your contributions to the military, community, and the human race are nothing short of exceptional.



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. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our
Lord and Savior. Amen.

Ok, thanks, I had listed him as a possible.

I just sent you an email - a Soldier from Ft Riley (first time rider) is looking for someone to ride up with.  Maybe you guys can ride up together.  You can call him before you turn in if you want - I just spoke to him a few minutes ago.





Angel, I just spoke with him. I am bringing him up. Kai

My apologies for missing this noble mission. But I will be thinking about this honorable gentleman throughout the day. Thank you Marshall for your service and your sacrifice. And I must thank his family for their continued support of his efforts and may God see them through this day with memories of joy and may they keep them near their hearts forever.

Thank You, Del and all the Patriot Guard Riders. I am glad you came to show respect to Marshall and his family.
It was an awesome sight...all the flags waving in the breeze...a 'so long' to Marshall; we'll see you in heaven.

Arch Angel thank you for your service yesterday. I thought the mission went very well. Getting thanked by the family and local VFW is always very touching. It was an honor to ride up and share this one. Got back to Olathe without incident or rain

Del! A job well done! Marshall Maddox had a good send off and the Patriot Guard showed Well and Honorable. Falls City people are top notch. Nebraska should be proud!

What ever you do in life, do it the best you possibly can and do it with HONOR!

I also want to thank all who rode to Falls City for this mission. The majority of this town has never heard of the PGR. Monday's ride opened up a lot of eyes ( and ears). All in all the town was very impressed with the turnout. I would also like to thank the Hiawatha school teachers (where Marshall use to work) for the water donation,as well as Casey's General Store in Falls City for donating all the ice for this mission as well as the Cole mission. Thanks again PGR brothers and sisters, and a big thank you to Marshall for everything you have done.
