| Our condolences to you and your family. The making of a true American Hero comes from the commitment to his country. Sgt. Bacilio Cuellar made the scrifice for us all. I know of the pain, we had just buried SSgt. Kristopher Higdon in Ft. Hood when I heard another Permian grad had made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Please know we are thinking and praying for your family. We are so blessed to live in a country that stands tall and supports our freedoms. We are thankful for all the overwhelming support from the press, the country, the Patriot Guard and our fellow Odessans. Sgt. Bacilio Cuellar will not be forgotten for his service to our country. |

| Thank you, Sgt Cuellar, for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To Bacilio's family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of your loss-my son was killed last year in Iraq. I pray happy memories of your dear young warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Bacilio will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

May the family and friends of Sft Bacillo E. Cuellar be comforted. I'm so sorry for your loss.
When sorrow's winds are blowing
Redeeming 'you' redeeming me
This 'you' I speak of ... 'God's family'
Perfect love, shouts 'Victory'
Forgiveness paid, not owing
Behind the clouds reveal the cross
Death is now denied
He'll dry each tear we've cried
Eternal life bestowed
'When sorrow's winds were blowing'
Peace be with you
Amen |

UPDATE: CHANGES to STAGING PLANS (as of Tuesday 1300 hrs)
ITINERARY for FRIDAY 15 JUNE 07, San Antonio, Texas:
We will need to do two stagings, one for those who will go to the chapel and a later staging for those going directly to the cemetery.
UPDATED: We WILL be providing an escort from the funeral home to the chapel with police escort.
1st Staging: Porter Loring Mortuary North, 2102 North Loop 1604 East at Gold Canyon.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&country=US&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&addtohistory=&cat=&address=loop+1604+%26+gold+canyon&city=san+antonio+&state=tx&zipcode=
1st Staging at 0830. Safety briefing at 0850. KSU 0900. Ride Captain George Briscoe ("Bumblebee") (210) 269-6410.
The Provost has approved us to go on the Fort, so the only requirements for bikes will be helmets and staying with our group. If you do not have a helmet, you MUST go with the second group.
We will ride to the Main Chapel on Ft. Sam Houston and set up a flag line upon arrival. The funeral begins at 1000. After the funeral, we will ride escort to Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery, Shelter #4 and join the flag line for the 1130 services.
2nd Staging: STACY'S SPORTS BAR at 1033 Rittiman Road (just East of Harry Wurzbach Rd).
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=1033+Rittiman+Rd&city=san+antonio+&state=tx&zipcode=
2nd Staging at 1030. Safety briefing at 1040. KSU 1050. Ride Captain Brad Pierce (210) 391-3151.
The second group will ride directly to the cemetery and shelter #4 (the regular site) and establish the flag line when the truck with flags arrives before the 1130 services. Helmets are not required at the cemetery.
Temperatures will be hot by midday, so dress accordingly and stay hydrated.
Please remember that multiple services are held each day at the cemetery, so please try to ride as quietly as possible on cemetery grounds out of respect for the families at other funerals.

Sgt. Cuellar,
Thank you for your service in defense of our great Nation. We have the watch. Rest in Peace as Heaven holds a special place for those who pay the ultimate sacrifice. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
To the family and friends of this fallen hero, may God grant you peace and understanding. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you find some measure of comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone in your grief. Those who have served, those who still serve, and all of their loved ones grieve with you.
