Seth Baker – 8/6/09

I apologize for this being some time getting to you.  I really want to extend my heartfelt thanks for what you did for Seth.  As I said before, to say that the ceremony was overwhelming would be a serious understatement.  The effort that the Cavalry put forth was truly admirable and makes me proud to be a citizen of Brazoria County and of the United States.  I feel that the honor that you give these young men and women cannot be matched anywhere in the state of Texas, or the nation for that matter.   Seth is a very reserved young man so seeing him moved to tears showed the amount of emotion that you and your squad carried with you when you honored him.  I have seen the dedication of the Brazoria County Cavalry at different events and unfortunately, in times of tragedy.  You and the men and women of the Cavalry should hold your heads high and relish in the fact that you are paying the utmost homage to the men and women that serve in our armed forces and are giving them the honor that they deserve.  Again, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the honor and dedication you paid to my son.

Sincerely,

Russ Baker
