Mission Date: Monday, 6 November 2006
Location: Garden City, KS
Seth Algrim, 22, a former Garden City resident who graduated from Garden City High School in 2003, was killed Monday during a Marine training exercise at Camp Pendleton in California. Algrim, who had been in the Marines for a little more than three years, had recently visited his family in Garden City while on leave. A large group of us were honored to have met Seth and his family when we rode to his home to welcome him home and wish him well in the future. Shortly thereafter he returned to Camp Pendleton where, after a reenlistment, he planned to continue his career attached to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Algrim, who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was to begin training in his new MOS on Monday. Algrim's personal awards include a Combat Action Ribbon, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.
Say a prayer for the Algrim family and our brother Seth.

This is a young man that we welcomed home about 2 weeks ago. He was on leave for two weeks before starting his second tour. He was to train for the Special Forces. Seth’s mother contacted me and wants the PGR with her every step of the way. We are looking at early to mid next week for the funeral.

==============================
When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden |

| First of all to those who were @ Seth's welcome home I would like to say thank you. I'm Seth's oldest living cousin & I had the pleasure of watching this wonderful man grow up from a sweet & loving little boy to the Great Man I believe that he was. Second, I want all of you to know that when he returned to California before he unpacked his suitcase he hung the flag that was given to him by the patriot gaurd. He was very proud to have all of you there that Sunday & was honored that he was given your flag. To everyone "Thank You" you have all made a difference in our lives as his family. Thank you for your support of our troops. |

Rest easy, sleep well my brother.
Know the line has held,
your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell,
the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell...

| I will be speaking with Seth's mother late this afternoon and we both hope to have more details by then. All we really know for sure right now is that Seth may be arriving in Wichita on Sat. and will be moved to Garden City soon after. There is talk of a possible escort from Wichita to Garden City. The funeral will be held at the United Methodist Church sometime early to mid next week. That's it for now. |

My very sencere condolences for the loss of LCpl Algrim. Very regreatfully, I will not be able to attend the services due to a Dr.'s appointment that I can't miss. I was planning to attend as I consider the circumstances of your loss as very special, not that any of the losses are less special, but this one struck me much.
As I stated, your Son, Friends and family as well as all his brother's and sister's at Arm's will miss him and I am sure the rest of the PGR will stand for those of us that are unable to attend.
God Bless, and may the Road Angle's watch over you and all that care. Tailgunner |

Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on these condolences to you and your family. I know that these words won’t bring your loved one back, but be assured, they will not be forgotten. Our brothers & sisters-at-arms will continue the good fight until we bring all our people home. My prayers are with you during this time of loss.
