A Note of Appreciate regarding LTCol Tom Budrejko Mission

A Note of Appreciation

From: Catherine Alexander
Subject: A note of appreciation

To the Patriot Guard Riders,

My brother, LTCol Tom Budrejko, was laid to rest a year and a half ago in New Britain, CT. Even though it has been so long, I wanted to say Thank You for your presence at his funeral. It was one of the most breath taking moments when we pulled up at the church, and later the cemetery, to see you surrounding my brother and our family with your flags and protection.

I know he felt honored by you being there, just as we all did. It was a truly humbling experience. Thank you for all you do for our veterans!

Regards,

Catherine Alexander

RE: Welcome Home***, Francis Atwater, USMC/PGR member

September 5, 2013 by

Gregg:

I would like to take this time to sincerely thank all PGR people for what they stand for, and do.

Friday night when my Nephew returned from a long trip from the Marines, He walked in to the airport to see a line of flags and PGR members. He was speechless.

I was proud to be there welcoming home a hero. I know he won’t forget the site. One of my friends said that all service peoples returns should be like that. I agree.

I don’t always get the chance to thank a vet for their service but thankfully, The PGR lets me.

 

On behalf of my family, please thank everyone who was there.

Thank You Note

August 25, 2013 by
Hello Dear Friends,
Gary Roy and I would like to say a quick, but huge thank you to all of you who helped with the Candlelight Ceremony this weekend.  We still need to recover and I am back to work but we hope to catch up more later.
 
I think everyone who attended walked away feeling that this was such a great way to remember all our special heroes.  It is because of all of you who contributed to make it happen.  We can’t thank you enough.  We hope everyone will spread the word and we grow bigger year by year.  There are many veterans that deserve to be remembered in this way.  There is strength in numbers.  
 
Thank you to all our presenters, those who worked behind the scenes and to those who attended.
 
Please share our thoughts with others you know who helped but for whom I don’t have email.
 
Sincerely,
Marianne Mihalyo and Gary Roy

Thank You Note from Family of Jimmy (James P Lee)

March 27, 2013 by
     On behalf of my brother’s wife and his children and step children, I wish to offer thanks to my fellow PGR who stood the line for Jimmy (James P Lee) yesterday.  
 
Among the family and friends who commented to me, all were especially touched by the presence, your presence, and that of the rest of the guys, left a positive and special memory etched in our hearts. I am very proud to be part of PGR in Tennessee. Jimmy was proud of what we do, and I know he would have enjoyed that escort , flags snapping in the breeze and the roar of a few good bikes. Jimmy loved to sail, and yesterday was a sailor’s wind. 
 
Every family member thanked me for suggesting we invite you to this most private of moments in our lives. My niece Jackie (Jimmy’s oldest) said she was in awe and very impacted by the escort and the line. For it is my opinion that as PGR performs its duties, the family upon seeing those flags , is lost in a wonderful moment of escape from the hurt. Jackie and her brother both experienced that and you are respected by them to no end.
 
As in many cases, we don’t know the person we stand for.  so let me tell you a bit: Jimmy took on challenges, never gave up, stayed on target and delivered above and beyond expectations. He loved the ocean and sailing. He was happiest at the controls of a sail boat. He loved to cook, and work around the house building a deck onto the back of the house. That deck became visit central and round it, dug out a koi pond and he was always doing things like climbing out the window (during the last giant snow drop), to shovel the snow away from the door and to help the neighbors with their clean up.
 
Above all that, he was the guy I called when I had to share some good news or bad news.
 
Stand tall, you guys are appreciated and I know for a fact what it is like to have the line be for me and my family.  Perhaps this experience will help me be a better RCIC. I enjoyed meeting you all and I will stand a line with any of you anytime any place.

Thank You Note from Michael (Mad Mike) Freedman and Kat (Mad Kat)

March 27, 2013 by
Gregg,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, Bob Stone and all of my PGR CT sisters and brothers that came to support the Sandy Hook FD Chili Cook Off Saturday.
From Bobby Easton and Dimples to Yolanda and Paul Novacelli, Pattie Ptak, Beth Ann and Peter Grieka (who made the banner we presented to SHFD)…..everyone who attended helped in some way. THAT flag line was one to remember for sure.
I still get goose bumps from that ….and the fact that Mac won the auction for the tattoo.
All of your efforts enabled us to donate $7,000 to the SHFD.
YOU should all be very pleased by your efforts.
I sincerely applaud all of you.
It is an honor and a privilege to be a small part of such a wonderful crew and Kat and I thank you all for your friendship.
Sincerely submitted,
Kat (Mad Kat) and Michael (Mad Mike) Freedman
