8 PGR, Gary, Calvin, Perry, Ray, Mike, Richard & myself, took the time out of their busy day to stand a flag line for Mr. Botello. As family & friends walked by us, many expressed how much they appreciated our being there. One in particular was the wife & sister. Mrs. Botello stated, to flag holder Perry, that she wished she had served so she could stand the flag line with us. Perry stopped her on her way back through the line & offered her to hold the flag. She & Mr. Botello’s sister then stood with the flag between them while the sister’s husband took pictures. It was a very touching moment. Once again, a special reason why we do what we do.
Thank YOU for giving us the honor to stand for your husband.
RIP Sir.
A special shout out to RC/FW Gary for bring the flags all the way from Bastrop.
