The family of June Sanders received a wonderful gift from the Brazoria County Cavalry on June 27th 2009. The Brazoria County Cavalry did my mother the great honor of escorting her to her final resting place. When my husband (A MARINE) suggested this honor for my mother who served this country in the Air Force for many years, I wasn’t sure what to expect. He gave me the number to the Brazoria County Calvary and I was amazed and comforted by their willingness to honor my mother. In life, my mother was a woman of virtue and kindness. She was undoubtedly the most unselfish woman I have ever known. She instilled in each of her children the need to give freely and joyfully. Although I can never repay the fine men and women from the Brazoria County Cavalry for doing such a fantastic and honorable service to a woman who served this country proudly, we, as a family, will be forever grateful for your kindness and generosity. I found great comfort in the escort by fellow heroes. Your group of volunteers represents all that is good about this country and the men and women that fight for our freedom every day.
Sincerely,
The family of June Sanders

I would like to take a moment to tell you how much this weekend’s Calvary ride meant to my brother Charles (Chuck) Christian and the entire Christian Family. It has been a long year for our family. Although the internet and phone calls make keeping in touch a bit easier with today’s service people, however, it is still a sacrifice on the part of the soldier and his family. The many prayers, emails, and care packages kept Charlie and our entire family going. When he came home, in May, we were relieved and thankful, so very blessed to have him home. That would have been enough and was all that we asked for, yet the Calvary helped to make his homecoming not just welcome, but a life-changing memory for all of us. From the time we heard the sirens on the fire trucks and the rumble of the bikes, several of my family members were in tears. Because I had talked to you and have connections with the fire department, I hoped we’d have a good turnout but what we actually had was more than I could have asked for or imagined. The look on my brother’s face(while not a total surprise) as he saw the fire trucks pull up, the delight as he watched the bikers pull in, is something we will all carry with us. The fact that so many people sacrificed their time, their comfort, and their money touched us deeply. It was very gratifying for my sister-in-law to see her husband so well recognized and honored, and it touched my mother’s heart as well. The presentation and gifts were wonderful, but what moved us the most was seeing that many people involved, that many people, most of whom didn’t even know Charlie, who were willing to reach out and care enough about a soldier to make his homecoming special.
Thank-you and God Bless,
Johnnie Christian

I’m proud to support such a great bunch of people as the BCC. The organization is beyond reproach. I served in the State Guard 1944 -1946 before going into the A.F in 1948 and retired in 1969. I have never seen active duty men and women treated with the respect they deserve like BCC does. I’m proud to be a part of the Brazoria County Calvary.

I appreciate everyone coming and showing there support. Those kinds of experiences make it all worth while. A special thanks to my girlfriend Kay and her mother Dianne for making it all happen.
