    Riders, back in January we participated in the ground breaking ceremony for a new adapted home for US Army SGT Jason Castille being built by Operation Finally Home.

    This house is now finished, and we've been invited back to be part of the ceremony at which it will become the Castille family home.

    If anyone is interested, there is a Whataburger at 12003 E. US 290, Manor. U can get breakfast & a free senior coffee. It's about 20 minutes from the staging. I plan on being there around 8AM.

    A dozen patriots shared a really neat day with Sgt Castille & his family. We all got a chance for some one on one with him at the staging. He really impressed us with his super positive attitude & Gung Ho spirit. It was very apparent who lives in his heart.
    God bless you Jason and may you continue to be a blessing to others.
