8/24/1 – Tracy Jones, Benny Hudson, James Hill, Troy Surgener
Brazoria County Calvary,
July 24th, 2010 what a day we will always remember when all the Fire Trucks, and a huge Motorcycle caravan driven by the Brazoria County Cavalry, City Officials, and many other sirens, flashing lights, American Flags and so much patriotism coming down the street for as far as we could see. Chills racing and tears running down our faces as we slowly watched one by one pull up and take their place to Honor our American Heroes. During this celebration my son in law Sgt Tracy Jones was honored for his tour of duty in Iraq and the send off of him being stationed in Okinawa for 3 years, in which he will be going to Afghanistan for 180 days at a time off and on while in Okinawa. The honoring of 2 special Viet Nam Vets, My brother Sgt Benny Hudson, US Army, and brother in law E5 Jamie Hill, US Army, for their time served in Viet Nam. There was also special recognition for my cousin Troy Surgener for time served in WWII and the Korean War (which I did not know he was in the military till that day). There was such and awesome presentation that day, that everyone has talked about. And I believe it has touched many a heart and brought them closer to what the war is really all about.
I want to thank the Brazoria County Calvary for such a great job that they did for our family and the many families around. Words can never express what this means to all of us and our families. You’re in our thoughts and prayers daily. You are an awesome group of caring people. May Gold Bless and watch over you.
