Florida has lost another hero. After two tours in a Iraq, Specialist Danny Diaz tragically lost his life stateside. His wife and his mother have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to join with them in honoring their hero at services for him on August 7th in Winter Park, Florida and on August 8th in Orlando, Florida. SPC Diaz answered his country's call and and did not hesitate to stand for us in Iraq. It is our turn to stand in honor of him and in support of his family.

| Thank you for my freedom. May you rest in peace.
Some people’s lives can truly make a difference however long or short their lives on earth. They give the gifts of kindness and of caring. They sow the seeds of friendship and self-worth. Some people’s lives are beautiful examples of putting others first, and when they are gone, the lives of those they touched are so much richer, and the love they shared lives on and on.
