John, You will find that we have had no borders between MN and other states. As you saw, we come and do what we do best, Show Honor, Dignity and Respect for our fallen Heroes. I hope under your leadership we can continue to work together to provide 5 minutes worth of comfort for the families. It was a pleasure to meet you, and an honor to stand with you and Wi, John Cocchiarella MN Patriot Guard State Capt

Thank You Everyone who helped make this mission a very special one for the Helman family, their friends, and the townspeople of New Richmond. This particular mission was a source of very personal pride and honor - as retired Navy, I've been there, done that. I know too-well the hazards our sailors and Navy airmen face every day. My very deepest sympathies, condolences, and understanding go out to PO1 Helman's family, to his shipmates, and to his squadron members. Well-done PGR members! May God bless the Helman Family. Rich Fink, Senior Chief Petty Officer, USN (retired) WI PGR state treasurer Sparta, WI

Cory Helman’s Mission Completed Let me start off by saying, I would like to Thank all of you for coming and supporting Cory Helman’s Family in there time of loss. So, THANK YOU! I think the mission went very well. We went there United As One to support the family and that is the Ultimate Cause. We put any differences aside and helped the family feel at ease with all of us being there. I would like to personally thank all the Minnesota Patriot Guard Members for being at the mission and showing your support. So, THANK YOU! I would also like to say, Thank You to John Curran for your presence at the New Richmond Mission and for posting the final mission statement. I would personally like to thank everyone for all the emails after the mission. It brought tears to my eyes. Over all, the mission went very well and the family was very pleased. We all did what the mission consisted of. With that said, I look forward to standing the line with each and every one of you in the future. Thank You Everyone for your Support in such an Honorable cause. Sincerely, Rocci Stucci

I don't know if you are the one that I should be emailing to but I wanted to make sure someone knew how I felt. I have never been more impressed with any thing in my life as I was with the Patriot Guard Riders that were at Cory Helman's funeral in New Richmond WI on March 30th and 31st. I am sorry to say that I have never heard of you guys before but I will never forget you. The honor that you guys gave Cory was the up most high. It brought tears to my eyes when I drove on to the road of the church and into the church's parking lot. I was told by many who drove by that it was so beautiful and gave them chills up their spine. The dedication of those men and women, standing out in the cold and rain was far beyond their call of duty. They sure showed their heart of gold for the fallen. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Kathy Kloetzke Cory Helman's Aunt.

To all the PGR I would like to thank everyone that road for Cory on March 30th 2007 and those of you that participate in these rides. I just found this link and thought it was very special with everyone's thoughts and prayers. I know the weather was horrible that day and even though I wasn't in the best of spirits, what you guys performed did not go unnoticed to me and I want to apologize for not thanking you earlier. This has been difficult for everyone as you can imagine and everyone grieves in their own way. I want to send my thoughts to those who have lost loved ones whether it be in Iraq, as a soldier or a civilian. No matter the way they go it is just as hard and I pray for all the widow's and widower's out there because it is heart wrenching to lose the love of your life and life partner. Best wishes to everyone in this holiday season and lets pray more of our soldiers come home safe to their families in 2008. Tonya Helman Surviving Spouse In memory of AW1 Cory J. Helman Aug 14th 1979 - Jan 26th 2007
