This message is way overdue as my brother MSG Tony J Trapp passed away many years ago. I recently came across the pictures taken at his funeral and saw the Patriot Guard standing to honor him the way you all do and was moved to tears again at the sight of it. What you do means so much to the family members left behind and there are no words to describe my gratitude. Somehow “thank you” simply does not seem sufficient. My brother Tony served 20 years in the Air Force. It was the only job he ever wanted in his whole life. He would have served many more had he not had to be medically retired due to health problems. He passed away unexpectedly a year after his retirement. Seeing you all there honoring him with such dignity when you never even met him is amazing. He would have loved it and I know he was looking down from heaven with a huge smile and maybe a tear in his eye. The Patriot Guard is a blessing and I love you all.
Sincerely,
Michelle Begley,
Proud military wife & sister
