Darlene,
My heart goes out to you! When I sit still I hear my fathers voice and can feel him with me...and it has been many years. As I said earlier...we are and always will be Daddys Girls, and at this stage in life it is a comfort, I promise. Please know the greatest group I know is honored to carry your father, an American Hero just as he once carried us.
We, the Patriot Gurad Riders are honored to stand for him, and we Thank YOU for the invitaion to do this. |

War is Chaos and Chaos is where great dreams begin.
Before a great vision can become a reality thre may be difficulty. Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with great difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we push against difficulty in bringing forth our dreams.
Out of Chaos,Brilliant stars are born! |

David, we served our nation with honor, we did not flinch from our duty, we stood tall during a time when others had no understanding of what is required to maintain our freedom. I will not forget you.
