Thanks to all those who were able to attend the Service for Don, this morning. It was well attended and it was clear that our participation was appreciated.
It was also obvious, based on comments shared during Don's Funeral Service, that he was very proud of his Military Service and his continued support of the Military and First Responders, as a member of the Patriot Guard Riders.
