Dear Bob
Please know that I was very moved and pleased that The Patriot Guard Riders were in attendance yesterday at the funeral of Corporal Breanna J. Hayes, USMC.
Honestly, I had no idea that you and the Guard would be there and when we turned into the church, I was hit in the heart, big time, by the presence of the Colors.
On behalf of my wife Maureen, and myself, our sincerest thanks to you and The Patriot Guard Riders for honoring Breanna and for ensuring that these same honors will be afforded and guarded in the future.
So to all, again, our sincerest thanks.
Peace & be well,
Joseph E. Smith
