Honor!

Today is going to be a rough day.  Monday night I rode Patriot Guard to bring a soldier and a friend home.  Today I will stand with his family and friends to lay him to rest.  God rest your soul Ryan and let the rest of us find peace, love, and healing.
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." ~ Author Unknown

I am so sorry for your loss, Margi. It is not an easy task you are taking on. I'm sure you have the strength to carry it through and bring solace to his family.
