PGR_NTX Patriot Guard Letter of gratitude

[Mission Information For North Texas PGR]

Fellow riders,
 
    In way too many cases most of you do not have  contact with the families 
we honor. I wish all the families could  personally thank each and every one 
of you in person for what you do for  them, but I know that is not possible. 
However, when we receive a letter of  gratitude, I want each of you to read it 
whether you attended that  particular mission or not. All of the letters 
received say basically the same  thing. Thank you. You have earned their praise, 
even though you do not seek it  nor want it. What we do is hard. It is 
emotionally hard and often physically  hard. I try to thank each of you personally and 
have encouraged the Ride  Captains to do the same. Still, it is not nearly the 
same as having the family  do it. Below are two letters from recent missions 
that say it much better  than me. These are for you.
 
 
    From the family of Dennis Whiteside
 
    I would like to thank the Patriot Guard Riders for  their outstanding 
professional display at my brother's funeral on 4-12-08 and  4-14-08. You guys 
really made an impression on every one. I had a lot of people  wondering where 
you guys came from and who you were. You really made my family  feel special. I 
look forward to finding the information for joining your fine  organization, 
for I am myself a veteran and motorcyclist. My hat is off to you  guys. Thanks 
 
Alfred Whiteside 
 
 
 
 
    From the family of Clu Flu Lusk
      
Patriot Guard Riders
 
On behalf of the Lusk Family, I want to express our deep appreciation for  
your presence at Clu Flu's funeral and committal service held in March.
 
We were honored and humbled by all of you who were there to help us through  
that day.  The weather presented many challenges, but you all were there  
standing in the cold and wind and sleet.  You are a remarkable group of  men.
 
May God bless you all in special ways.  We will forever remember  how the 
Patriot Guard Riders were there to pay tribute to a fellow soldier and  true 
American.
 
Sincerely,
Diane Lusk
 
 
Well done,

 
Bill
