Had been thinking about joining the Guard for a long time. A local young Marine was killed in action a while ago. The respect shown to family by friends, people that never knew him, and Ill Patriot Guard was amazing.
Joined Thursday night, first mission was today at church for Josh.
I can't put into words when not only friends of family but Marine, Army and Air Force soldiers came up and "Thanked us for being here". Here they lay their lives on the line for us and our freedom, and they thank us. All we were doing was standing there respectfully holding American flags. Amazing.
Going back tomorrow, protesters are supposed to come...........
Be Safe
