To the family of Spc. McDonald: Thank you for allowing the Patriot Guard to stand in honor of your son and brother. His selfless service to our country has been a blessing to us all, and we are truly grateful. We know that courageous fine men like Spc. McDonald are the greatest asset the United States has, and that the loss of your son and brother is a great loss to us all.
I pray that God will lift your hearts and fill you with peace and comfort in the knowledge that Spc. McDonald will not be forgotten, and that many of us who did not even know him recognize the deep debt we owe. We will never that debt.
May God comfort and bless you and your family.
