State Captain Announcement – New Ride Captain

Patriot Guard and Associates, 

I am pleased to announce Connecticut Patriot Guard’s newest Ride Captain, Linda Liversidge-Daley.  Linda is Connecticut Patriot Guard’s first female Ride Captain.  She lives in Wallingford, CT.  

When asked why she became a member of Patriot Guard she says:

“The first time I saw the Patriot Guard flag line at a funeral I thought it was the most amazing and beautiful thing for such an honor to the veteran that they were there to honor.  I didn’t get to serve in the armed forces, so this is my way of serving at the same time as honoring those that did serve.  This is such a great organization, and I am proud to be a part of it.”

As State Captain, I am pleased to include Linda as a Ride Captain.  We are appreciative she has stepped up to take on these responsibilities. She has already been RCIC for two missions. Thank you, Linda.

God Bless America, our Troops and First Responders.

Regards,
