Mary asked me to post this email that she received from the family.
Mary,
On behalf of my mom, my sisters, and I, I would like to take this time to thank you again for your organization's participation at my dad's military funeral at the Texas State Veteran's Cemetery on 7 Jan 13. If you remember, his graveside service wat at 1 p.m.
My whole family commented on how awesome the service was. They were impressed on the PGR doing a rolling tribute AND being at the cemetery. Your members with all the flags flying just added to my dad's much deserved honors!
I would like to ask one last favor. One of my sisters noticed some of the PGR members taking pictures at the service. She and my other sisters have asked me to ask you if there is any way possible for us to get copies of those pictures. For obvious reasons, none of us took pictures and we would like to put together a photo album of my dad's funeral and graveside service for future memories.
If you think this is something that is possible, please let me know. If not, I understand also, but I would like to know regardless.
Thank you greatly, again!!
Adrian Jr.

"A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."
