    This was a very short notice mission but with that said 13 PGR Patriots showed up to Honor Lance Corporal Samuel Gaines. The weather was good with plenty of shadow for all.

    The family was very appreciative with several members walking the line to thank every member there. Mrs. Gaines could not believe how many PGR members showed up to honor he husband.

    God Bless this family, those that came to Honor LC Gaines and those that could not make it.
