Thank you,
Spc. Robert J. Dixon
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robert, his family and friends. May God help comfort you as he holds your son in his loving arms. He has made a great sacrifice for us all so we can go on about our every day living here in the land of the free, we call home. My heart aches just as it did when we lost our son (Greg) on 11-09-06. Although I never met Robert, I am proud to call him son.
Thank you and God Bless you Robert,
The family of SSG Gregory William Guy McCoy 410th MP Co
Tim and Chris
NEVER FORGET those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and those who have fought, and those who continue to fight for OUR FREEDOM.

May your family and all who loved you find comfort. You served our country well. Now PGR will honor and ride for you. I think of the words of a poet friend, a Vietnam Veteran, who penned these words:
"I am a whisper found
In the wind of questions flow
Too much too soon is faded
From the land where answers grow
Turn up the sky one corner
Take care to nurture the course
And find me just a marvel
That shines with no remorse"
God Bless and keep you until that Day of Great Reunion
With Care

Thank you to all who rode and drove today!!! 80 Patriot Guard and
local people standing at the school. Thank you to all of you who are
new to the Patriot Guard we appreciate your Patriotism and willingness
to help. As always great people with honor giving great honor.
Thank you to the local and State Police for your help.
A big thank you to the Gladwin County High School for you Patriotism
and support for our troops. You served our country well yesterday!!!
Thank you to the VFW for the meal afterwards, thank you for standing for the Veterans of the United States all of these years.
Thank you to all the local residents who came out and stood along

God be with the Dixon family. Thank you Spc. Dixon for your service it is forever ingrained in my heart. Thank you.
For those up there near Gladwin there is a small memorial wall out side of City Hall. Maybe letting them know so this fine young soldier takes his honorable place there as well.
It was a wonderful place to grow up.
Thanks to all that supported this mission and made it happen. Praise be to God. Another soldier takes his place in Heaven. |
