To Gloria Buitron, the Buitron family and Joe's friends: it was our honor and privilege for the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders to stand tall with you today. As a Marine combat helicopter pilot, I never met Sgt. Buitron but I knew him as a brother Marine, combat aircrewman and warrior. Without a doubt, his actions in combat saved Marine lives and possibly others in the finest tradition of the Naval Service. Thank you for the honor of asking us to be with you during this difficult time and may the grace of God comfort you in your loss.
