For those who were able to be in attendance for Cpl Brandon Garabrant today, the following came to us from the (PRG) Patriot Guard Riders State Captain. PGR was responsible for the arrangements made for the flag lines and escort. A big thank you to our members who were able to be there today and for coming together with other groups, organizations, clubs within and outside of NH. --------------------------------------------------------------------- What is Patriotism? Heres one way of defining it: Patriotism is the zealous love for ones country. Its like a disease that every man carries. It spreads from one soul to the next like an unstoppable wildfire. There is no cure for such a disease; for this is one of pure determination and pride. While the above may define Patriotism in words Ill venture that Patriotism is much more clearly defined by the actions of the HUNDREDS at todays mission for Cpl Garabrant. That SO MANY are willing to expend their time, energy and effort to display their Honor & Respect for Cpl Garabrant and support for his family, friends and community is a much more apt definition of Patriotism. How else would one describe people gathering from areas stretching well beyond the borders of NH on a holiday weekend to Honor a young Hero, the vast majority of us didnt know? While Thank You seems wholly inadequate and perhaps almost rings hollow it is offered up to all who were able to participate in todays mission for Cpl Garabrant. Without doubt everyone participating in both the Flag Lines and the escort created an indelible impression on Cpl Garabrants family, friends and community. Perhaps, in a small way we were able to diminish the enormous grief Cpl Garabrants family is experiencing. Patriotism: look in the mirror, doing so will immeasurably better define Patriotism than any words ever could. With the utmost respect and appreciation for All you do!!. Its Not A Mission, Its An HONOR Bob Dorey Patriot Guard Riders NH State Captain
