    From Mr. Joe Meadows, the funeral director who handled SPC Farris' services:

    “To all the members of the Patriot Guard I want to say “Thank You” for all you do and the way you show honor and respect to the fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for those of us here at home.

    Last Saturday so many of you came out for Army Spc. Joshua Farris and I know it is by the invitation of the family, but the magnitude of your presence in such a solemn time overwhelms our hearts with pride of our country and patriotism.

    Spc Farris gave his life to protect us from those who seek to destroy us and you honored him in such a way that few can. Please convey my appreciation to all the members of the Patriot Guard.

    Joshua's sister posted this thank you on Robbie Cooper's Urbangrounds blog thread regarding this mission.

    “I would like to thank all of the PGR’s who attended my brothers funeral. It really meant a lot to my family and I, and I do mean that with all my heart. I actually live in Dripping Springs and know the community is extremely supportive but I was even taken back when I saw the support they gave our family for our loss.
    For everyone who prayed for us and showed your respect I am thankful.

    With all my heart I thank ya’ll
    Brittany Calhoun”
