Another one of our brothers giving his life as a sacrifice. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rodriguez family. These young men are the real heros of our great nation. Work permitting, I will be there.

[markwells]

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Rodriguez family. I will monitor for updates on this mission. As soon as the dates are known I will make both missions.

[markwells]

My thoughts and prayers are with SGT Mario Rodriguez Jr, his family and friends. He was one of those Smithville boys that everyone knew and loved. Work permitting, I plan on riding both of the missions for SGT Mario Rodriguez Jr. Standing by in Hills Prairie to ride proud for this fallen Hero.
