I am attaching words of appreciation that have been recently received. Once again, reinforcing the importance of our words and actions.
What amazing people the PGR are! I was just checking to see if the mission was posted and it has been. I looked at the comments...so touching and kind! Choked me up! Thanks again for your help! We recently provided a bit of financial help for a young Fort Carson Soldier so that he could get his motorcycle back on the road as his primary mode of transportation. I have heard from him a couple of times, most recently after he received our check. He said he would get his bike back on the road within the next day or two. He may need to rent a trailer and get a few friends to help get his bike to the shop. He said that whatever money might be leftover, he would return to us. He added that it was very gracious of our members to help him out. He appreciates our support and our kind hearts. He ended his call by asking us to be safe out there. I would like to add a big "thank you" to Colorado PGR member Albert, from Lamar. He found this young Soldier, Tyler, broken down, along side the road. Albert drove home and hooked up his trailer and took Tyler and his motorcycle to Colorado Springs.
On Sunday, August 2nd, we stood in honor of US Navy and Vietnam Veteran Roger Brunelli in La Veta. The following was passed along to us via the American Legion Post 16, from the family.
"The Brunelli family will never be able to thank you enough for the beautiful ceremony that was presented for Roger. It truly was a blessing for our family to say 'Good-bye" to the man we loved. Cleo and Family."
The Legion Post also stated their appreciation for our support.
On Saturday, September 12th, the Colorado Patriot Guard Riders stood for the dedication of the National War Dog Memorial in Colorado Springs. This evening, I received a visit from Ruby and Wade Ridpath, the driving force and founders of the War Dog Memorial. They asked me to pass along their deepest appreciation for our participation in the event to all who were in attendance. They were very impressed with our Flag Line and all we do in general and wanted to be sure I let everyone know how much it meant to them.
Here are words of appreciation from two family members for a Service in which we participated on September 3, 2020.
These words reflect sincere appreciation for our standing in honor and for the condolences that are written by our members.
