This is a great service to Gold Star families.  My daughter in law did not allow the PGR to participate in my son's funeral (CPL Rich Smith KIA 31 Dec 2006 in Baqubah, Iraq).  Even thought they did not participate, the PGR remained in contact, what a blessing this was to me as a father. Now, whenever I can get of work, I attend funerals and meet the fallen soldiers parents.  It has been a great honor to be of service to the parents and has helped in my personal healing after the loss of my son.  David David, Randy, Rick Crabtree and the entire group of guys (and gals) has been very supportive of my participation.  I am grateful for their friendship.
