I would like to thank Beth and the rest of the Ellis family for allowing us to be part of this celebration of the life of Virgil Ellis. It was an honor to stand “tall and silent” to honor Mr. Ellis' service to our country. It was a privilege to witness the  members of  the Sons of the American Revolution / Sons of the Republic of Texas and Scottish American Military Society demonstrate their honor for Mr. Ellis. It is my hope that the PGR was able to portray the respect and appreciation we have for his service as well.
