Cody and Carly Russell 7/26/08
We want to thank you so much for the Welcome Hone you gave me and my husband. It touched us both very much. What you do for those soldiers, Airmen, Marine, or Seaman must mean the worl to them. We would like to thank you for all the gifts as well but the presentation alone is more than what we can ever ask for.
Thank you again,
Cody and Carly Russell

I was in attendance for Cody and Carly Russell’s celebration and thank you. It was very memorable and honorable and I want to thank all of you who made it possible. I was so impressed with the riders and flag bearers. It was hot and hard to do but you were wonderful. thank you so much.
I am Cody’s grandmother.

July 27, 2008 I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to the Brazoria County Cavalry, for your dedication to all of our heroes that you have touched their lives forever in a special way. I am the aunt of Cody Russell, the first military wedding that you participated in. My daughter was the one that was treated like royalty on the Honda. She will remember this day for the rest of her life. Cody and his wife Carly have both served in Iraq in the Air force. Cody will be returning to Iraq. I am also a military mom, my son is serving in the Air force at Whiteman AFB in Missouri. I was also there when the cavalry came to Danbury for T.J. Rogers who had came home for R&R and was returning to Iraq serving in the Army. The picture that I am trying to create is that I have been involved in two of your rides. I have been involved as a friend, family, and as a military mom. I have experienced what the cavalry has done to touch the lives of these families. I truly feel that you give these soldiers the motivation and understanding within themselves that they are truly doing something for their country. There are people at home besides their families that care about them and appreciate what they do. I just watched the video of Mark Minks that is on your website and could not stop crying. That is what it is all about. The veteran who fought in Vietnam… he needs to know that we care! Once again I applaud your dedication. You are a special group of people and I hope I get the opportunity to be around you more often. It is always a special day to get the opportunity to honor a HERO!
Thanks for all you do,

Tracy it was a Honor to give our hat to this young man. I watched Cody and my son play ball together starting at age seven. Cody has made our country pride. Sorry that it is still tough on me but it brings up a lot of old thoughts and its something I will have to get over, our group is doing a great thing for these young men and women. Again, it is an honor to ride with this group
