We just can't imagine what the "saturation" limit is for the North Texas
Patriot Guard Riders, because the more that is asked of you, the more you
step up and take your place in the Flag Line.  Thank you for your honorable
service, it is a priviledge to stand with you!  Please have a safe and very
Happy Thanksgiving and remember those who are in harm's way for us.

 

God bless all as we ride to Stand Tall and Silent,
