It is my honor to R/C this mission for SGT LaValley.
Riders, Our local forecast at this time for Thursday is:
Mostly cloudy with snow flurries and snow showers possible. Cold. High 33F. Winds light and variable. Chance of snow 60%. Some snow accumulation possible.
So caging will most likely be the order of the day. Ride safe and I will see you there.

Sgt. Craig LaValley, may you rest in peace. What a terrible accident to happen to you and your son. You both were inseperable in life, may you both rest together. A true American Hero, your years of service to your Nation will never be forgotten. Although I knew you only slightly; a loss I will not forget.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt Craig LaValley. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Craig.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through. |

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |
