Hi T-Bone,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! We can't say that enough for all that you and the Patriot Guard did for daddy's service yesterday. Everything was done to perfection. The framed presentation from the Patriot Guard and the embroidered picture are so very special. Please send me the gentleman's name and email address so we can send him a personal thank you. (You gave me his name but the card is slipped into the frame and it is at mom's...). And the PICTURES!!! I have just gone through them. They are truly incredible and we will treasure them always!
Please convey our love and appreciation to all the group.
Thanks again,
Beverly Saldana

A sincere thank you again, Mr. Bewley and to the rest of the N. Tx Patriot Guard Riders.

My dad would have been so honored to have you there and we were as well. I can't express how moved we all were by your presence and for taking the time to do this beautiful and much appreciated gesture.

It made this day all the more special and we so appreciate all of the time you spent and commit to all.

God bless you and your organization,

Thank you so much.

I wanted to thank you after the service, but was unable to find you.

These pictures are wonderful.

Your organization helped make this a very special day. Rodger made it a point before he passed that I get you to be present at his service. The flag ceremony was something that I didn't know would happen until you called me. Your presentation was perfection and I couldn't have asked a better way to honor Rodger.

Thanks to your men for their service.

Dear Buster,
We would love to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for you all being at the ceremony to honor my sweet dad.
He was the most wonderful and selfless he loved his family and friends.
The girl who sang Star Spangled Banner was our daughter Alana
She was in plaza show and taking singing lessons since she was 5 years old.

When my dad David was alive he always loved watching sports and loved watching someone singing star spangle Banner before sports starts.
He said he hopes someday my daughter will audition and sing National Anthem at Cleburne railroad stadium. My daughter didn't forget that she practiced for 2 weeks and did amazing.
Thank you for saying wonderful things about my daughter singing. My dad loved her more than anyone in our family. He will be so very proud of her.

Sorry long story. Anyway we love to invite you and friends to come eat at our restaurant Thai Garden Cafe Cleburne let the front know you are at restaurant we will take care of you all.
Glad you like the pastry we worried we get in trouble for bringing snacks.

You all were amazing we will always remember this moment for the rest of our lives. It was an honor to meet you and the rest of texas Patriot guard Riders
You all made my dad so special.
Thank you so much sir

Im so sorry for the delayed reply - my Vietnam sisters are still here and leaving on Sunday. So we have been spending all our time together before they head back to their own homes and lives.

Mark, thank you so much for everything you and the Patriot Guards did to honor John. Our entire family is, and will forever be, so very grateful. Everything went perfectly because of the attention to detail, the coordination and professionalism of an amazing group of guys.

The photos are amazing and I’m overwhelmed that your photographer documented John’s service in such a way. I have no words for how much that means to me.

It was a great honor to have each of you give your time to respectfully pay tribute, not just to a man, a veteran, who you had never met, yet your presence acknowledged his service and the other men and women who serve , what I believe is still the greatest country one could live in.

You all were respectful, kind and thoughtful of all in attendance. Thank you for so privately picturing the moments.
There will never be enough words to express my gratitude for what you all do.

God bless you all and this great country, a freedom we all enjoy because of men and women like my dad , and including those who may not wear the uniform, but wear the love of country and mankind.

Thank you so much. I will remember the day and all as long as I live.

Thank you also for the picture link. Your generous giving of time, and the presentation of incredible gifts, honoring Allen's life of service, has truly overwhelmed our family. We are forever grateful to everything each and every one of you have done. You are truly an incredible group of American-proud, patriotic, selfless gentlemen.

My dear Patriot Guard Captain,
Words can not express the appreciation for you and all your team. The respect and honor shown to my father and our family was so nice. My father would have loved it. I personally thank each and everyone of you for the great job you did.
I was not expecting a GoPro video and was so glad to see it. Actually that is why it took me 3 days to respond. So to follow up to your saying sorry you took so long to get this to me, I was more impressed with how quick I received it from you! I had to wait to watch the videos and have quiet time to go through all the pictures. LOVE them. The one of his grandsons walking him up was precious.
I have so many positive things to say but will finish with my final thought..... the PGR standing at the van saluting as my father was being moved.... that caught my brother and I's attention with so much admoration.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
You made a sad difficult time special and proud.
Thank you for what you and the PGR do to honor our Veterans.
Peace of Christ be with you all,
Teri Seaton

Good Morning Mark,
The service yesterday was absolutely beautiful! The Patriot Guard Riders were spectacular lining the walkway and the flags were beautiful.
I regret that after the service I did not have enough time to thank each any every Guard that was there. In order to witness the interment, my son and I needed to follow the Cemetery Representative.
As I prepare for tomorrow’s Celebration of Life, I was wondering if there are any photos ready. I would like to get some developed today and have framed to set out for viewing tomorrow.
Please let me know if any will be available today.
Thank you so much Mark for supporting me as we walked together to the shelter. I felt the support for me and honor the group had for Chris.
Thank you.

I want to sincerely thank the many PGR riders that provided the military
honors with US flags on January 16, 2023, to the funeral of SMSGT Carson
Leslie Dibble at his visitation and memorial service at the Lucas Funeral
Home in Hurst, Texas, followed by escort to the Smithfield Cemetery along
with US Flags and standing at attention during the urnment ceremony with
full military honors by the USAF.

It is particularly noted that so many riders attended and each entered the
memorial service and each solemnly saluted SMSGT Dibbles remains and
presented a certificate of honor to his wife as well as standing guard
outside.

His family, that are very long time personal friends of ours, and are
related to my daughter Cindy by marriage, very much appreciated the PGR
members dedication and respectful performances to honor SMSGT Dibble and his
wife and family for his dedicated USAF service of 22 years in Viet Nam and
many other bases.

The services of the Patriot Guard Riders provided to military families, to
show honor for their family member's dedicated services to the defense of
the United States, are invaluable for the support and recognition of their
families at a time of sorrow and loss.

Please extend the Dibble family's and my family's appreciation, to Ride
Captain Mike Moore and all the riders for a service well done with honor and
pride for our country's veterans.

With deep appreciation,
Lt. Colonel Charles E. Andrle, USAF (retired)

Hi Mr. Little & Mr. Metzger,
Thank you and your team for the amazing honor of being part of my Dad's funeral on 01/04. I performed 2,000 funerals at Arlington National Cemetery within the USN Presidential Honor Guard. Out of all the funerals I have performed, I have never been so amazed and inspired by your team of vets on their bikes with the American flag; absolutely a beautiful memory I will forever treasure. It was an honor to shake all your team member's hands.
Being a Navy veteran myself, I am inspired to get a bike and give back as you all did. I just need to convince my wife.

Thank you so much! I tried to find you at the graveside to speak with you, but I think I just missed you. My apologies.
I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the time and energy given towards my dads funeral. It was much more than anticipated! You and your volunteers were both professional and humble and it did not go unnoticed. I have to say the embroidered picture was unexpected and made me cry and will definitely be a family heirloom that we will cherish. I just looked at the link with the pictures and they also are so much more than I expected. Just so thankful to have them.
Your organization is such a blessing, and now that I know about it I will definitely share with others. Thank you so much for everything, please share my gratitude with the other volunteers.

Dear Mr. Hammock,
Please forgive the tardiness of this note - my intent was to send it much earlier but I'd get too emotional and would always think "maybe tomorrow....".
On October 10th, you and your very esteemed group accompanied our family to Southland Cemetery and respectfully watched over us as we laid my father, Lee Brown, to rest. It was you, Sir, who presented the flag to both my sister and stepmother. I just wanted to thank you from every hidden corner within my soul. Your care and honor toward this duty you performed for our family was tremendous and it absolutely touched all who were present. When you handed the flag to my sister, I hope you knew in your heart that you had done such a beautiful, beautiful act to assist in her healing. When you went to get the flag presented to my stepmother, you paused. You turned momentarily and allowed the flag to rest on my dad's casket for a moment before continuing to present it to my stepmother. Everyone witnessing that was touched deeply and overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness. We could not have asked for a greater gentleman to have represented our father's military service than you. Thank you.
Again, I do apologize for taking so long to send this. You are wholly deserving of every honor & recognition for your flawless dedication to the somber duty you so perfectly executed. You stand out to my sister and I among the memories of that day. And the comfort we both share due to your selfless call to duty is not measurable. For this, please know how deeply, deeply we offer our gratitude and appreciation.
Wishing you an abundance of every blessing,

ALL of the very splendid men and women who shared their time and their very great respect that day touched our hearts. Each participant was so incredibly respectful and reverent. Please extend our gratitude to each one and let them know that we saw them. We felt them. The gift we were given in that moment on the 10th was 100% perfect and you and your colleagues just wrapped it all in the most platinum of Spirit. Such blessings you all truly, truly are. Again, I express my deepest thanks to everyone.
With deepest respect,
Hayley Armstrong

Ken,
I'm a little late with my 'thank you' to you and the Patriot Guard for the beautiful and touching service you presented for Lee. I know he appreciated all you did to honor an Air Force veteran. He was very proud of his service. I will always cherish the flag you presented to me.
Thank you again for all you did.

Hi Darl,
I want to thank you and all of the volunteers that attended my father, Ralph Farra’s, service at DFW cemetery on Friday, October 7. I was so touched and honored by each of you and the beautiful presentation. I regret not being able to thank each volunteer that attended but please let them know how grateful I am. My Dad would have loved it!
Thank you for your continued service to families.
With deep appreciation,

Dear Mark,
The photos that Linda took, and put together, are beyond what I expected. I sent them right out to his parents, family, and friends. So many people wished to be there but...you know how it is. I was so pleased to make them feel like they were there. You have no idea what that meant to us. Please give my thanks to Linda. She does a beautiful job!
We can't thank you enough for delivering the eulogy. You read it so perfectly. I feel like the heavens opened up and gave me a big helping hand for the final part of this journey. You and your group are my angels. You are such a gentleman and, I was grateful for your sturdy arm and compassion. It was our honor to have you all there. I wish I had it together better that day, and spent a moment with each one of you. Please pass along our thanks to all.
We were so pleased to read what the donation will be used for. What a wonderful thing that you do! It was the perfect ending for this occasion. Kevin was a flag guy, so it was great to read what you wrote. He made sure that his Dad had the pole and proper flag for the front yard. Dad puts it up and down every day. I see how important your organization is. I'm really proud of all of you. Thank you all for your service to our country also!
God Bless you and yours.
Sincerely, Julie

Thank you so much for coming out to Mike's service. The flags were incredible and the group honoring Mike's service was so wonderful.
It was a privilege to meet all of you and I love what you guys do for the veterans and their families.
I appreciate all of you more than I can express.
