God Bless the families of all three soldiers. They are in my prayers. I just joined today after reading about PGR in theToledo, Oh, paper. The families need all the respect and compassion of every redblooded American for what their sons and daughters have given for them to live here. I am an Air Force veteran of Desert Storm and pray every day for all of them to come home safe. GOD BLESS YOU!!

A couple of us will be leaving Collinsville, IL to ride to the staging area. Anyone else leaving from the Collisville/Troy/Caseyville area and want to join us or we can join? Also is there going to be an Illinois rendezvous point? If anyone is leaving from this area please let us know.

Folks,

It's supposed to be nice and sunny this weekend in MO. So... take a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water in your day bags.

Everyone ride carefully.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Costello family and the community of St. Louis.

I was able to get a vacation day off from work, so my first mission will be to honor SPC Costello.  I'm going to run by the visitation this evening.  My prayers are with the Costello family during this very trying time.

I can make the 7:30 meet but cannot go to the mass. I have an appointment that I just can't break. Looking forward to at least making the first run.

I did stop by the visitation about 7:45 PM this evening. There was a very good turnout, and the place was packed. I met and spoke briefly with this soldier's brother. He said the family is very grateful for the service we perform and that we will be participating in his brother's funeral. I told him that his brother has given more than we could ever repay, and that we only do this to honor people like his brother.
