PGR_NTX Patriot Guard Message from Wingman and Wafflemaker

[Mission Information For North Texas PGR]

IT HAS BEEN A "GOOD" TWO YEARS.  GOOD BEING THE FRIENDS THAT WE HAVE MADE AND THE HELP THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED FOR OUR FAMILIES IN TIME OF NEED.
I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE I GAVE UP THE ASST. STATE CAPTAIN'S POSITION BEFORE I ACTUALLY WROTE THE LETTER.  I NEEDED TO DO IT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, BUT, PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF MY HEALTH.
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW JUST HOW MUCH I TRULY APPRECIATE THE RETIREMENT PARTY.  THE FELLOWSHIP WAS PRICELESS.  I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE ATTENDANCE, THE MILES YOU RODE TO BE THERE.  I DON'T KNOW JUST WHO "WON " THE LONGEST DISTANCE TRAVELED.  DICK AND TERESA FROM ODESSA, BEN FROM SAN ANGELO, JOE FROM SAN ANTONIO, OR MAYBE SOMEONE THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE JUST HOW LONG THAT THEY HAD TO TRAVEL TO BE THERE.  THANK YOU ONE AND ALL.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO HOTLIPS AND BIKER GRAN FOR YOUR EFFORTS TO SET THE PARTY UP AND EVERYTHING THAT IT TOOK TO GET IT GOING.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT STORIES, AND MAYBE FOR NOT TELLING SOME OF THE STORIES THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE.  HALEY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER , WE TREASURE IT, AND IT WILL GO INTO THE ALBUM AS A KEEPSAKE.  YOU ARE OUR SPECIAL FRIEND, AND WE LOVE YOU.
WE DIDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN FELLOWSHIP AND MAYBE A CAKE.  EVERYTHING ELSE WAS A TOTAL SURPRISE.  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GIFTS FROM THE GUARD AS A WHOLE, HALEY AND KAREN'S PICTURES AND BEAUTIFUL FRAME, AND BILL'S "KEEP E.R. WARM" JACKET.  YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THESE EXPRESSIONS OF CARE MEAN TO US.  YOU ARE TRULY OUR FAMILY.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP, ANSWER A QUESTION, OR JUST BE THERE FOR YOU.  WE LOVE EACH OF YOU AND THANK GOD FOR LEADING US TO SUCH A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

E.R. (WINGMAN) AND GLENNYS (WAFFLEMAKER)
