Thank you, thank you Brazoria County Cavalry, Matagorda County Cavalry, City of Angleton, and the Police, Fire and Emergency squads for honoring my son and his children, (U.S. Navy) David and Danielle, Cody, Caitlyn and Cayla West, and my nephew and his wife, Michael and Holly West, both Marines, for their military service to our country.
Also, thank you for honoring all the veterans at the recent reunion at Masterson Park. We love you for all you do and those that serve behind the scenes supporting America’s freedoms.

Thank you for all you and the Matagorda County Cavalry, City of Angleton, EMS and Fire Department did to honor the David, Michael and Holly West family on the 30th of June. God bless and keep everyone that supports the volunteers in the USA. Without each of you and our supporting military and families, our lives would never be the same. Thank you with all our heart.
Linda and Jimmie West.
My Grandpa, Frank ‘Bud’ Lawrence gave me your email address so that I could thank you for the gesture of appreciation that Grandpa and my mother were able to give to me upon my return from Afghanistan. The certificate and the USA flag are very special and I am extremely proud to have received them and to have received a salute from my Grandpa that I proudly returned.
As Grandpa told you I spent the majority of my time working with the US Marine Air Wing and USAF personnel working from Bastion Airfield in Helmand Province during my 6 months there and hopefully I made things safer not just for my own troops but also the US troops, our coalition partners and the local people as well. Being an Explosive Safety Officer for this tour I was also able to blow a lot of stuff up which is always fun!
I am now back in the UK and my only excuse for not emailing sooner is that I am worked off of my feet as an Engineering Officer for 3(F) Sqn, the oldest Sqn in the Royal Air Force who celebrated their Centenary this year. I am working with Typhoon aircraft, the most advanced fighter in our arsenal and one that would certainly give anything you’ve got on the other side of the pond a run for its money, not to mention whatever the Russians are flying!
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the gesture. I had a great time working with my Allies from the US Armed Forces and their professionalism and heroism is heartening in such a terrible place. Here’s to many more years of harmonious Joint Service between our two great nations.

Brazoria County Cavalry,
I would like to second the remarks by my stepmother…what you do for our service members is second to none and it has left a lasting impression on my family. As a past Commander and leader of soldiers in our Army, I have seen the positive impact that organizations like yours can have on active service members and veterans alike. You all have decided to give your time and resources to a cause that is greater than yourself and for that you are patriots. Please stay the course and keep supporting our service members; your efforts are noble and they are most definitely appreciated. All the best to each of you and I will be in touch.
Thanks Again,
Corey James
