Kristian is Another American Hero and has gained a large extended Family. I am so sorry for your loss and May You know there are Many, Many of us whom carry heavy hearts with you. May knowing you will not have to go thru this alone comfort you. We would be Proud and Humbly Honored to show our Respects, HONOR and loyalty to your Family for the their Sacrifice. Know the PGR is here to stand Tall for you surround you with all this and Love.

| God be with your family Pfc Menchaca. I grieve for you, but grieve for them as I can only imagine what your family could be going through. Peace be with you, I only pray you were not aware of many things your body experienced, through the grace of God, and may your family find peace in their hearts and lives with time. You are a brave warrior and you can be proud to have fought for your country and humble at the same time, as serving is nothing but sacrifice. |

SERVICE INFO
Don't know if this helps but I recvd this info from member of another group I am in.
Mimi Price
Kristian Menchaca's body is supposed to arrive in town on Monday (June 26).
The tentative plans include a rosary at 7 p.m., Tuesday (June 27) and a
funeral Mass at 10 a.m. Wednesday (June 28). I plan to attend both and
would like to present the books at the rosary - so I will close the books
this Sunday so that I have time to put the books together. |

Talavera, I don't have a big house with alot of extra bedrooms, but I can provide an air conditioned spot for folks to sit and cool off with a cold drink.
Come down 77, watch for the deer between Kingsville and here. County constable tends to hang out around and a bit past Sarita. Cops have been on a tougher patrol mission between here and Kingsville, esp the Coombes area.
Between Harlingen and Brownsville the construction has a few miles of what we affectionately refer to as "The Chutes" concrete barriers on either side with about 4 inches of shoulder. |

| I was a young soldier once, and the men I served with became as close as family, perhaps closer, I would have died for them. There is a heartfelt sadness across our land today that Kristian's home-coming is not the way we all would have wished it to be. There is great frustration that we were not able to stand by his side in his moment of dire need. While I cannot be present in body to show honor and respect to this young man, I will be there in spirit with the Patriot Guard Riders, as will also be the spirit of all who ever served and sacrificed, from Lexington to the present moment in time. God Bless SFC Ray Needham USA Ret. |

Pfc Menchaca, thank you for your service and sacrifice to this great nation. My heartfelt sympathies to your family and friends. Although I cannot attend the services of Pfc Menchaca, I will be thinking of you and the great loss your loved ones are experiencing. I will be attending the services of your comrade in arms in Oregon. I know my PGR brothers and sisters in and around the great state of Texas will show honor to you, your family, friends and the community in which you lived.
God Bless each of you,
Respect,
