i just want to say thank you to all the patriot guard riders! Gary Vazquez is from my hometown, and it means so much to know that you will all be here especially since there is word that Westboro Baptist Church is also going to be there. I think your organization is AMAZING. I am an af wife and my husband is currently deployed...we are stationed here in illinois, and a few of the people from his shop are patriot guard riders. I just wantd to say thank you again for all you do! God Bless all of you and all of our fallen soldiers, and especially SFC Gary Vasquez... Katey

Rabalais, USMC, Father in Law, Deceased, Col Gilbert Meibaum, USMC, VN, AO, SN Larry Slaymaker, USN, VN, KIA and each and every Brother and Sister who has worn the uniform and lifted their right hand to make the Promise to willingly die if need be to defend the freedoms of our Citizens and the innocents abroad.
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.

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.
