The Brazoria County Cavalry’s presentation to my Father Alton V. Stamps during his Funeral Services on January 2nd 2010 was the most wonderful, caring tribute that I have ever seen. Your response to help my family in our time of need, the respect & love exhibited for my family and I by all of the men and women who are associated with the Cavalry was truly very much appreciated and will always be remembered. The Cavalry will always have a very special place in mine and my family’s heart for what you do, have done and stand for. I would like to personally thank all of you for your service that you provide, your willingness and dedication to honor all of our American Hero’s and all of the families associated with them. If there is ever anything that I can do to help you continue this wonderful, most honorable service please let me know. Thank you for all that you do, have done and may God Bless You, Your Family and the Cavalry Always,
Sincerely,
The Stamps Family

What my husband thought was a Sunday picnic with family, turned out to be the most heartfelt welcome home he has ever had, thanks to the roaring sound of the motorcycle pipes coming from The Brazoria County Cavalry. He was so surprised that all of that was for him, and did not expect all the donations, and is very thankful for them. The State of Texas flag that was flown over our State Capitol is already framed, along with the proclamation that it came with. He was humbled to have all his accomplishments with the Army recognized, because as we know, this was not done in the Vietnam Era. A special thanks to all the veterans that attended, Jarrod and I both appreciate their service, and the service that The Brazoria County Cavalry extends to our counties heroes so much that we intend to ride along with y’all when were home on leave. Thanks again for everything, we’ll see y’all soon.

Happy New Year from Iraq… I wanted to tell you personally how much I appreciate everything the BCC have done for my family while I am gone. She refuses to tell me everything, but from what she has told me is more than I could ever hoped for. I don’t know the words to truly express how thankful I am to the Brazoria County Cavalry for all you have done. I have had folks tell me I am crazy, but I worry more about my family back home way more than my own safety here. I don’t know how I will ever be able to repay the kindness you have shown to me and my family. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything.. If the BCC EVER needs anything for the rest of my lifetime, please do not hesitate to call on me. I will be there. Samona said it best to me when I got to call her on Christmas. I did not know there were so many saints living in one city. The relief in her voice is evident. I have been deployed many times and this is the first time that Samona does not feel like she is alone in this. That alone is the greatest gift I have ever received. I cannot thank you enough.
On a different note, I cannot tell you exactly where I am due to operations security, but I will tell you what I can. Samona can tell you more about that. She understands who I work for and was prepared for the lack of information flow. I am in North Central Iraq right now and things are good. This is actually turning into one of my easier deployments. I got a pretty good thing going on here as far as deployments go. Except for the occasional mortar and rocket fire, this good duty. And since the insurgents shoot like crap, the mortar and rocket fire is more of an inconvenience than anything else. Most of the time they miss by 1K, but they have got close a couple of times. (DISCLAIMER: Please don’t tell Samona about that part, I generally glass over most of these things) The food is pretty good and the living conditions ain’t bad. Everyone is OK, morale is high and everyone is getting into the groove to get this thing done and come home.
I haven’t forgot your picture either. The connex that had the bag it was in just came in about a week ago. I have it in my possession and will be getting you a picture soon. I told Bob to apologize for me for the lack of background that you are going to get due to where I am, pictures are frowned upon, but I am working on that to at least give you some contrast. The hat alone has a story to tell. It went with me to Ft Bliss where it got packed in a connex. Next to the Port of Beaumont, on a ship across the Atlantic, thru the Mediterranean Sea, thru the Suez Canal to Kuwait, then on a truck North to me again. Samona told me you requested a US Flag and boy have I got a deal for you. A different flag is flown over this post daily and soldiers can sign up to receive that flag at the end of it’s 24 hour period. My name is on the list and I will have the date that it flew here when I get back. I have a few other ideas, but that will be a surprise. It is not much, but it is the least I can do for all you have done for me.
I have to go now and get back to it. Thank you again for everything. I told you when you gave me the send off that it is my family that has paid the price of my chosen career. The BCC has made this deployment a whole lot easier on me with the kindness and selflessness you have shown. Thank You so much. And thanks again for reminding me that there still are some great Americans left.

I finally got a few minutes to sit down with the computer. I just want to say the kids and I are really enjoying our new home. I have put all of the money donated into a separate account just for the mortgage. Now that we don’t have a payment until June we are going to take the money we would normally use for our payment and put half of it into that account each month to keep adding to our payments so we wont have to take a full payment out of our check for quite awhile. I told Boots about the mortgage payments and I thought he was going to pass out on the phone…he was speechless. He should be sending you all an email. I haven’t told him about the things done to the house yet I think I might show him on video. That way he can get a full idea of what all was done and given. We got our dining room table which is very large and gorgeous! I love it. We also got our couches and they are just beautiful. Our home doesn’t look the same nor does it feel the same. My kids have such an appreciation for all that was done. They go through the house everyday talking about how amazed they are by the generosity of everyone. And that is where I would like to say something. When Boots and I moved down here the first thing we noticed, after we noticed how green it was, is how nice everyone is here. Not that people aren’t nice where we came from but you just don’t see as many of them all in one place…it seemed like EVERYONE we met was warm welcoming and generally nice. That is a big reason why we chose here to live. We had no idea how giving of themselves and how truly caring the people of Brazoria County and surrounding counties were. I told Boots that I never knew there were so many saints in one place much less one county. This deployment hit us pretty hard financially emotionally and physically. I just want to let everyone know that you have taken ALL of that away!!! We greatly appreciate ALL of it. I want you to know me and my family will be here if any of you ever need us for anything anytime. Thank you to the Brazoria County Cavalry and everyone that donated and helped. We love you!
Thank you so much!
The Henry’s
