The weather looked like it may not be kind to the 10 of us that showed up to stand the flag line for Bryan E. Smith. The sun did start to show itself as we started to leave. As I was standing by the door with the Army flag someone came out, looked at the people there to honor what I believe to be her dad. Knowing that none of us personally know him, thanked me for being there. At that moment I noticed the tears in her eyes. Those are the moments that reaffirm why I joined the Patriot Guards and attend the missions to honor those that gave so much for our freedom, knowing how much it means to the families.
