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.

As a new member (Southern Illinois)and fellow Veteran, US Army 68-70, It would be a priviledge to participate in this ride to honor the memory of one of our fallen warriors.

I just spoke with SPC Costello's father, James. We will participate in the procession from the funeral home to the church and from the church to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Although not yet firm, he anticipates that the Wake will be Thursday Evening and the Funeral will be Friday 4/21. These dates are tentative. SPC Costello's body is in Dover, Delaware and the final dates will be determined when he arrives home in St. Louis.

My wqife works with SPC Costello's sister in Chicago.  I would be honored to participate in this but do not see any way to be able to make the trip from Chicago for a Friday service.  Have one tomorrow in S. Holland, Illinois.  My prayers go out to the family of SPC Costello and my thanks for his sacrifice and the family's loss.  Thank you Costello Family for this American Hero.

Disappointed to miss this one.  Unfortunately, it is scheduled the same day as the Springfield Mission.  Still haven't figured out how to be in two places at one time (but working on it).

God Bless SPC Costello, his family, friends, and loved ones.   We honor you and your sacrifices.
