We want to thank everyone who helped honor Andres Ramirez at his 90th birthday on 21 February 2010 but a special thanks to the organizers Becky Rubio, Liz Guerra and Irma Ramirez and their hard work. The Brazoria Calvary lifted everyone’s spirit by honoring Andres’s military service during World War II as they highlighted the battles he was involved in where many Americans lost their lives and the gifts that the Brazoria Calvary provided to Andres. Several special presentations were given to Andres – Dennis Bonnen’s office provided a Texas Flag that had been flying over the Texas capital and Texas Senator Joan Huffman’s Gloria Millsap provided an encased Texas Flag. The mayor of Clute Calvin Shifflet presented a certificate to Andres. Brazoria Lions President Dr. Robert Schwebel and Brazoria Lion/Mayor Ken Corley were also present to provide local support. Family and friends from north and south Texas helped celebrate Andres’s birthday. Thank you everyone for making a special day even more special. We also want to thank Jose Luis Diaz for coming over from Natalia Texas providing a private performance to sing and play the old Mexican songs that Andres loved. We also want to thank Father Jim from St. Jerome’s Catholic Church in providing the special blessing for Andres.
Virginia and Manuel Diaz

I would like to thank the Brazoria County Cavalry for attending the Ring of Honor Fundraiser at Cooter Brown Country Club. The veterans in attendance were surprised to be honored. We must never forget the fallen soldiers. We must always remember that Freedom is not Free. I would also like to thank the riders for remembering the POW/MIAs by wearing the patches. I appreciate everything you do.

My husband and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the riders of BCC for coming out on Feb. 20, 2010 to show your support at the deployment send off BBQ for our son Ryan McDonald (Army). You made this day very memorable for so many people. It was really something to see all the fire trucks, bikes, flags, family and friends’ etc. coming into the church parking lot. The presentation was more than I could ever imagine. There was not a dry eye around. Ryan was completely surprised he had never heard of the BCC before that day. Again thanks to all who made this possible.
Sincerely,
Shane & Sheila Sullivan

Outstanding is the word that comes to mind. I was moved to tears at the ceremony Sunday. A lot of things hit home during the ceremony. Being a disabled veteran I could not help but relive a lot of my life in a couple of hours. I lost several friends while I was in the service and I think of them often but I never cried until Sunday. My brother was a fireman and died of cancer 11 years ago. His funeral was attended by all the local fire departments. The street in front of the church was closed to make room for all the trucks and ambulances, it was awesome. I still have trouble looking at a fire truck. Marvin Setzer is my wife’s cousin. John Rape grew up across the street from my mom, I knew him when he was a little kid. I was not prepared to be touched in so many ways. I was glad the lights were out. I could go on but I won’t. I do want to say thank you to all of you.
Thanks,
Stanley Montgomery

I just want to say yesterday made me very proud to be a member and Officer with the BCC. I think someone said grown men don’t cry so that tells me it must be a lie. Thanks for remembering a Hero Roy Taylor (2/28/09) his daughter and sister also gives thanks.
