A Mother asked President Bush, "Why did my Child have to die in Iraq?" Another Mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my Child have to die in Vietnam?" Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

| Sgt Olguin, you are truly appreciated. It seems heaven is needing more and more heroes. I know you are walking there now, along with all our fallen warriors who have gone before you. Rest easy now, Randell....you have completed your selfless mission here and you will not be forgotten. |
|
Thank you 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 the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero 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 |

First part of mission is complete. We hade between 20-25 bikes accompany SGT Olguin and his family from Lubbock Texas to Ralls Texas. The weather was perfect. As we arrived at Adam's funeral home we formed a honor line off to one side as Sgt Olguin was moved inside the funeral home. I want to thank everyone that was able to attend, and adjust to the sudden change in plans to honor SGT Olguin for the first part of this mission.
Part Two of Sgt Olguin's services.
Funeral services are scheduled for Tuesday morning at 11 am at the First Baptist Church,Ralls Texas, 521 Tilford Ave.
Staging will be from 9:30 - 10:00 am on Ave F between Tillford Ave and Watts Ave.
Interment will follow the services at the City of Ralls Cemetary on the western edge of town. |

Part two of Sgt Olguin mission is now complete.
I want to thank everyone that was in attendance and everyone that has kept this family in there prayers.. It was a nice brisk ride over to Ralls this morning. We had 19 members present to honor Sgt Olguin. .
The family arrived 1 hour prior to the service time and there was a flag line set up for their arrival. After the family's arrival was complete we then broke down the flag line in order to have our rider's meeting. Just prior to our meeting Sgt Olguin's father (Sid) approached our deputy state ride captain and gave him two pins, one being a gold star pin and an honor pin, and thanked us for what we were doing.
Thirty minutes prior to the service time we then set up the flag line once again for all in attendance.
Once the services started all but five riders went to the cemetery and set up the flag line again. The five remaining riders stayed and accompanied the family in missing man formation on the short ride over to the cemetery. Upon our arrival at the cemetery the flag line was in order and awaiting all family and friends.
We would like to offer our gratitude to the Fire Dept of Ralls and the local and county Law Enforcement, and DPS for their assistance with the services today.
The military had a great presentation and presented the family with the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. Our deputy state captain and our area coordinator presented the family with the PGR gold coins. The PGR plaque had not arrived in time for this to be presented to the family today. We will make a special trip back to Ralls in order to present this to the family upon it's arrival.
Our Nation has lost another hero.
I will speak on behalf of all the PGR members that were present. We were very honored to be allowed to show respect to Sgt Olguin and his family .

Was glad to see the turn out yesterday, Thanks to all that were there. The General Officer in charge of the funeral also told me he was very glad we were there. That we showed that this country does care and support our troops.
Later when getting gas a local police officer thanks Worm and myself for being there He said I knew when the PGR showed up that any protesters would be kept at bay. That would make his job so much easier.

What an honor it was to stand with other PGR members to honor this brave young soldier! Rest easy, Sgt Olguin. May God hold you in his arms. Thank you for your service and for our freedom.
Always remember....Only two have ever offered to give their lives for us..Jesus Christ and an American Soldier, Airman, Marine, Sailor, or Coast Guardsman! Words alone can never thank these brave men and women enough for what they do and for the sacrifices they make for us. |
