Words cannot describe what it meant to our family and friends with all that y’all did!
Y’all was there Standing with flags in hand before anyone even family was there!
Your respect for a falling brother says it all!
It was a Honor to have The Patriot Guard there and lead Ken to his resting place.
May God Bless You All!!
Thank You,
