4/24/10 – Joel Medina

Brazoria County Cavalry,

My family and I want to THANK all of you for coming and joining us in celebrating our HERO coming home safely.  The Cavalry did above and beyond my expectations.  Joel was very surprised and humbled of the support his fellow brothers and sisters of the military gave him.  His wife knew about it but was very surprised as well.  I love that you acknowledged them both for their sacrifice for our Country.  I stood there during the presentation from all the Veterans trying to stay calm and not break down in tears, thinking that I thought he made me very proud.  Come to witness how proud he has made each and everyone of you.  I pray that he continues to follow the GREAT path that you Veterans have left him and support the future military men and women the same way you have supported him.  We accomplished my goal of making him feel appreciated.  I want to personally THANK each and every one of you for what wonderful support you showed my son and also for your service to our Country.  Without you I could not live with the freedom that I live with.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!  Keep up the GREAT work that you do for our Veterans.  You have my number and email, please let me know if there is anything I could do for the future to make a fellow Veteran feel the way my son felt coming home safely.
