Thank You Patriot Guard and other Riders.
We had a fantastic turnout to honor Sargent Connolly and his Family.
Attached is a photo coming down Sonoma Ave toward the Funeral Home and although small here, if you want a copy let me know. I'll have Prints available Monday, or email me.

| To the Family of Spc. Connolly, you will remain in our thoughts and prayer; may you lean on the strength of the memory of your loved one as you move through the many days ahead. |
|
Thank you for the mission you gave to your life in protecting our freedoms, and striving to give others, theirs. The lives of you and the men and women who have gone before you are raised high, and not given in vain. I honor you, and pray that our children will learn to do the same throughout coming generations. God bless your family, and may they keep their memories alive and rejoice in the life of a hero.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

| You are so deeply appreciated, Spc Connolly. I know you have been welcomed as a hero at heaven's gates by all our fallen warriors who have gone before you. Rest easy now, Ryan, and know that you will never be forgotten here. |

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 |

| Our heart felt condolences to the Connolly family and friends in the loss of Ryan. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Ryan served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that he is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends. Wish I could have shaken his hand and told him thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down his life for us for our freedom. This act has made him a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country his greatest love for country and friends |

God Bless all of you! The funeral was today and the support from all of you has been wonderful! We are friends of Bob and Robin (Ryan's mother and stepdad) and they have been so touched and have felt so supported. You guys are angels and I thank all of you for what you do. I know all of you have been touched by loss and also share in a brotherhood that is like non other. While in the church, I heard the hum of the motorcycles and my heart swelled. I know I was not the only one. The world needs more people like you.
I spent 8 years in the Air National Guard and my husband was an EOD tech. for 8 years. He served in the Iraq war. We love our country!!!!
God Bless America and God Bless You!

| Mission Complete. My personal thanks to all the Riders that came out on both Thursday and/or Monday. All the Rider's worked very well together and we had 4 to 6 first time Riders. Everything flowed smoothly from beginning to end thanks to everyone working together. The young Soldier's final escort was something to be proud of. Our American Hero was laid to rest with the honor and respect that he deserves. |
