***MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*** Today the Patriot Guard Riders honored the service of Anthony Thomas Lee McGaughy, United States Marine Corps. As our East Texas Brothers and sisters did earlier today at his funeral, we Stood Tall and Silent during his interment service. The certificate of our appreciation was presented to the family during the committal service.
Our thanks go out to the men and women of the East Texas Patriot Guard Riders, led by Mike and Bob, who stood for Anthony at the funeral in Gilmer and then brought him to Canton. Thank you, Perry, Mike, Tom and Derek for safely bringing Anthony to the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery. Thanks also to my faithful brother Eli who provided the snacks and water that helped get us through a very busy day. A very special thanks to Randy and Nicki for getting the flags up at a prior Mission, Laura, who so tirelessly gets our Missions out to the Riders, to Dan for getting the Missions posted to the National website and as always, to Linda, who took the photographs, showing this family the true face of the Patriot Guard Riders, those who so willingly give of themselves and are found standing in the Flag Line.
To Andrea, and all of Anthony’s family and friends, thank you for allowing the Patriot Guard Riders to stand today in honor of this American Veteran. May God comfort you in your loss.
