6/5/2011 – Military Appreciation Day

What a wonderful day this was! We thank God for giving us the opportunity to honor our men and women from the 272nd Engineer Unit from Angleton, Texas and to all our men and women who have served our great nation.  We had present over 100 men and women from this unit.  We want to extend a very special thank you to the Brazoria County Cavalry for escorting this unit to the Lake Jackson Civic Center.  Their burden and support for our military men and women has been outstanding and has been a great blessing to this county.  We were so honored to have over 12 of our area politicians, officials and judges join us.   A few of the highlights were as follows, and all to whom we say a huge thank you for helping to make this event so special:  Saxophonist & Cavalry Member Edmond Baker Jr. who played the National Anthem; WWII Veteran, Purple Heart Recipient & Cavalry Member, Army Sgt Leroy Walker who lead us emotionally in the Pledge of Allegiance and Brazoria County Cavalry Committee Member Tracy Read who lead us in a beautiful moving prayer. 

This day would not have been possible without the help from all of the fine men and women that joined us and labored with us today.  We from The Rock Church pray abundant blessings on you all for giving of yourselves so unselfishly and sacrificially In Jesus Name.  Thank you for all that you do.
