Hello! Pat, I am a PG Rider and I would like to ask if the PGR would do the honor of escorting my nephew to his resting place. His name is Rudy G Garcia and he passed away this morning around 7:00 a.m., Oct 8th, at the age of 57, with his family by his side. He was born on Dec 30th 1950 in Phoenix Arizona, the son of the Late Paul G Garcia and Santos (Miranda) Garcia. Lance Corporal Rudy Garcia was a U.S. Marine who served in Viet Nam proudly for his country. He was one of a kind, and it was all good. He will be "greatly" missed by our family...

Our debt to the Heroic men and Valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid . They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices
(President Harry S. Truman)
During these days of many trials and tribulations that our land of the free are facing, let us remember to hold our heads up high in remembrance for those who gave thier life for our freedom and those that are still in harms way for this cause. Pray for the brokenhearted and proclaim victory for those who are held captive. Lord, You are the light of the world and we declare You to be Lord over every nation. We know your light shines in darkness and the darkness does not always comprehend, but we also know You light will always prevail. Amen.

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.
