6/19/10 – Jared Carrasco

Dear Brazoria County Cavalry,

 It was truly an honor to me to have you guys come out and honor my son who is serving our great nation. It was an amazing, moving ceremony and probably one of the best I have seen thus far…not sure if that was because it was my son’s or what.  My son accepted all the gifts that were given with much gratification and was deeply moved by all of your support in what he is doing.  So moved, that he couldn’t even express himself at that time.  One of the first things he said was. “Mom that man is a Master Sergeant”. He was very impressed by that and almost didn’t know how to act until they honored him and came up to him and shock his hands instead of him having to respond to them.   I know that tears flowed through out the whole time not only for Jared and what he is doing now but for what all of our veterans have done for us in the future and have gone unnoticed.  I give thanks and honor to all of the veterans that ride in the Cavalry and all other service men and women of all types.  Your prayers and acknowledgments are greatly appreciated.  I loved that you made the ceremony not only about my son but recognized all his family and friends that attended in their past services as well and honored them.  That was good not only for everyone to see that was there but especially my son that sometimes takes his job for granted and doesn’t realize what he is actually doing for us everyday that he serves in the US Army.  Jared is deploying on July 26th and I am set to fly out on the 24th to go see my brave soldier leave our country and fly into a war zone.  I do ask for continued covered prayers for him as he is gone and faces whatever he has set before him.  Once again I don’t think there is anything you could do to change your ceremony it was amazing and there are still people talking about how awesome it was and how much it moved them.  Thank you each and every one of you for what you do for our service men and women! 

I HONOR YOU!
