Scooter, TC and all members (AND LEO). What an honour to be associated with such wonderful Patriots! The Patriot Guard was represented by members from Waco all the way down to Houston and everywhere in between. I can only imagine the comfort provided to Marla and her family as they laid Joshua to rest.

I have finally finished posting the pictures and clips – just wish I could have been in more than one place. I was told the ride through Dripping Springs was amazing! The procession was so long arriving at the cemetery that I had to turn my camera off mid-stream because it isn't made for movies!

Here are a bunch of other links to stories, blogs and newscasts that may interest you. In particular Robbie Cooper of the UrbanGrounds site offered a poignant description of the ride through Dripping Springs. Not to mention his site is uberkewl!
