This is our annual festival in Collinsville.  We are finding it harder and harder for someone to carry the flags.  My cousin Harvey Dean Brandon of Ft. Towson OK died a few years ago and The Patriot Guard was present.  Being from a stron Military family it sent goose bumps down my spine.  Then In Tioga, TX on July 4th this year in the parade there were Patriot Guards.  I was told to contact you on this site which I have done once and not received anything but an email telling me to look at your calendar and we aren't on it.  I would love to have the Guard lead our parade with many flags.  I feel it would move many in our little town.  Pappy was the one we dealt with with my cousin's funeral.  He will remember the family and Harvey's dog, Buddy who has gone home to be with my cousin now.  He told me in an email he woulod never forget Buddy.  Thank you for your time and God bless each one of you for doing this and God bless our Country, every person serving, served, gave the ultimate price and the familes.
