Though a very sad day seeing a young man giving his life for our Freedom coming home, the Guard’s role in the procession was very uplifting and made us all and helped show our pride of this Great Country. There seemed to be at least 1,000 plus riders from various chapters that rode in it – and I know it impressed us and Jared’s family!
Also about a year ago I unfortunately came very close to my end and was coming through an emergency operation when I was visited by a St Louis Mo. Guard member who came to see me, Rick Moceri. He is my wife’s cousin and she was very worried and needed help and comfort, and though Ricky did not really know me he rode a fair distance to visit with us. My Wife had to leave for a work shift and Ricky stayed with me and we talked and prayed together. He helped guide me to a better view and gain strength in my life.
So I can say the Patriate Guard has made a positive impact not only on myself but countless others!
God Bless You All, and Thank You from the bottom of my Heart,
Rich
