My family and I wish to send our condolences to the family and friends of SSG Bradley Espinoza.

For this country, this Warrior has stood the watch.
While some of us were in our beds at night, this Warrior stood the watch.
While some of us were in school learning our trade, this Warrior stood the watch.
Yes, even before some of us were born into this world ... this Warrior stood the watch.
In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history this Warrior stood the watch.
Many times he would cast an eye home and see his family standing there ... needing his guidance and help ... needing that hand to hold during those hard times ... but he still stood the watch.
He stood the watch for years, He stood the watch so that we, our families, and our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety each and every night knowing that a Warrior stood the watch.
Today we are here to say “Friend, the watch stands relieved. Relieved by those you have led, guided, and trained. You stand relieved. We have the watch.”
GOD BLESS!

To the Family SSG Bradley Espinoza,
May God comfort your hearts and his soul be at peace. He has my thanks and respect for his service, May God Bless you all! I know this is a terrible loss to your family and I grieve with you.
Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?”

After speaking with the Funeral Director this afternoon and getting information ready for distribution for SSGT. Bradley Espinoza’s funeral on Thursday October 29th. 2009 the following will take place.
THURSDAY MORNING: PGR staging will be on the North side parking area of the Rivera Funeral Home, 1813 North Conway Mission, Texas no later than 9:30 AM. By 10:00 AM, Bill Rose will take flag detail team to the church to form flag line.
The Espinoza family and PGR Ride Captain’s 5-man (missing man formation) escort with (big flags) will escort our fallen soldier at 10:30 AM. from the funeral home to the San Martin de Porres Catholic Church at 621 West Main in Alton, Texas . 5-man escort will ride behind the family car.
Once we arrive and receive our fallen soldier at the church, the flag detail team will depart from church to the Veteran’s State Memorial Cemetary and form flag line Bill Rose will check with PD on which road to take.
Again, only PGR 5-man missing escort with (big flags) will remain at church and await escort to our fallen soldier to the cemetery in Mission, Texas .
A word of caution, at the 5 mile line intersection, as you turn left to go to church, there is heavy road construction, we have asked the Alton Police to assist in blocking traffic and assist in getting the (flag detail) through. The Alton police will be called upon before you depart for the church flag line.
Ride safe, be safe and be professional!
REMEMBER TO TURN CELL PHONES OFF AND REMAIN QUIET DURING THE PROCESSION!
LET’S GIVE ALL THE RESPECT TO THE ESPINOZA FAMILY AND A FINAL FAREWELL TO OUR FALLEN HERO.
Regards, Mr. T

A Soldier's Prayer
(author unknown)
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
