So "Life Goes On"

Today I share an e-mail sent this week to the State Captain of the New Hampshire Patriot Guard Riders (NHPGR).

Subject: My first encounter

Bob:

My son Jamie, a contemporary of Capt. Doug DiCenzo here in Plymouth, shared this video today on Facebook.  The funeral for Doug was celebrated on the football field at Plymouth Regional High School, back in June of 2006, and was the first at which I saw an honor guard from the NHPGR.  


I joined the NHPGR that afternoon.  Now, coming up on my tenth anniversary as a member, I share your pride in the mission of the Patriot Guard Riders.  I hope for a few more years to serve with you, though I'll be having an operation on my right eye in a few weeks, and ask your prayers for my vision to improve.

Be well!  

Duncan
