To the family and friends of Pfc. Brian Botello,
I am sorry for the loss that you have suffered, but I thank you for having such a brave son, brother, friend. It is young men and women like Brian that join the military knowing there is a very good chance that they will be put in harms way that make this country what it is. It also makes me as an American very proud of the courage he had. So on behalf of Brian please accept my condolences and may God be with you during this very trying time.

My condolences to the family and friends of Brian. Please let the Patriot Guard do our part in helping with your grief by allowing us to stand and render honors for your son. None deserve our respect and honor more than those who give all of themselves so the rest of us may continue on without fear of what's to come. We all stand in awe of your son's sacrifice for his country, his community and his family. May you find peace in the coming days knowing what an outstanding son you raised. He honored his country, his community, his family and himself. Thank You...........
