What a great day to be an American. 12 PGR members, 3 Lakeway PD units, & total strangers arrived to escort CpL Babin & family to his future smart home. It was a moving ceremony with representatives from several participating organizations present.
A special thanks to Chief Todd Radcliff & Sgt Brown for arranging the police escort that got us there w/o a hitch. U all are super.

She said to thank everyone for making her feel welcome and that she was very impressed ,an also indicated that the she would like to go on some of the missions with us I told her that I would let her know when the next one comes up.
