Mrs. Paez, mother of Pvt. Mathias Ricardo, has asked that we give her son a send-off on Saturday, Sept. 6th.   Pvt. Ricardo is currently on leave from Iraq and is staying with his mother in Huntersville, NC.   He is returning to Iraq.
 
His flight leaves from Charlotte-Douglas Airport on the 6th at 10:20AM.   Those who can make it should be at the airport at the Delta ticketing area by 9:30AM.   We will determine the gate at that point.   Bring your flags and your PGR spirit.
 
Mrs. Paez had asked for a welcome home but the notice was too short for us to respond.   Let's show Mrs. Paez and Pvt. Ricardo our appreciation for his service and their sacrifices for our nation.

'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. Amen.'

GOD SPEED, we anxiously await your safe return from harms way.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's
children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
Ronald Reagan

FOR THOSE WHO MAN THE BATTLE LINE,
THE BUGLE WHISPERS LOW,
AND FREEDOM HAS A TASTE AND PRICE,
THE PROTECTED NEVER KNOW...



* * * * * * THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS WRITTEN ON THE WALL * * * * * *

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

God Bless Pvt. Mathias Ricardo. Thank you for your willingness to defend our Nation and Freedoms. We send our (((hugs))) from N. IL. and will keep you in our prayers.

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.
