What a privilege & honor it was for the 8 of us to stand for Mr. Columbus. From what many folks were saying to us he was a terrific person & had a great life. Former Austin PGR member Perry, who met the sister in Colorado, came to stand with us. How cool it was to see him again. As the many friends walked by us they were so appreciative of our being there & showing Mr. Columbus such respect. It was truly our reward to do so.
Thanks to Gary for the flags & helping out with the mission.

RIP Sir & thank U for your fantastic service to this country.
