| I send my heartfelt condolences to the family of Sgt William P Rudd. Please know your loved one is a hero in the hearts of true patriots all across America. Many of our citizens will never know the sacrifices made by those who defend our freedoms, or the sacrifices made by their families and loved ones…as a veteran, I know. Jesus said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”. Though I did not know William personally, his sacrifice and service to the United States of America makes him my “friend”. God be with you. |

Patriotism is more than a sentiment; it is a conviction based upon a comprehension of the duties of a citizen and a determination loyally to perform such duties.

| It was an honor to attend this mission. The outpouring of thousands for support of this American Hero was amazing. We rode down Main several blocks and there were people lining the street 6 deep which was very moving. As we turned the corner, there were thousands of people as far as the eye can see, standing, saluting, with flags and signs. Well, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank God there were no protestors, as far as I can tell, it would not have been pretty. What an honor to have been given the chance to support SGT Patrick Rudd. I only wish there was something we could have done so we wouldn't have had to attend this solemn event. God Bless you all, God Bless America |

Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.
