again.) Bishop’s chapel is on the left past the parade ground. The parking lot next to the Chapel will be set aside for us. There will be a flag line at the Chapel; in addition I will ask for four big flag bikes to return to the gate and accompany the family car to the chapel.

This is a letter of appreciation from the wife of Joe Duncum. Linda was also in the military.
Subj: My thanks to the Patriot Guard

I hope that you can pass on my gratitude to the members of the patriot guard who escorted me and my family, as well as standing out in the Central Texas heat during my husbands memorial at Camp Mabry on 5 June 09. My husband dedicated his life to the Guard, he spent nearly 42 years in service of his State and Nation. CW4 Joe Duncum, will always be remembered as a very humble and dedicated soldier, and he would have been very proud of your soldiers in their appearance and professionalism. He was very proud in your mission, and I know he spoke to Sam Warren about it many times. Please again forward my thanks and appreciation to your soldiers for me.
As he would say…."Carry On" – Linda Duncum (Alpine, Tx)
