So weird to hear commercials on the radio about the armed forces and to think to myself, hey…that’s me….
The Patriot Guard Riders stand between the anti-Christians and the military funeral, protecting the bereaved families from looking at the ugly signs and face belonging to those anti-Christians.
These people are bad ass! Nothing but respect for the Patriot Guard Riders!
REBLOG AND SUPPORT THE PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS!
Story behind this? Her dad was leaving on a 2 year deployment. She was crying, and wouldn’t let go of her dad’s hand, even when he stood in line, saluting. No one had the heart to break them apart.

The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of him, and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. “I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it” she said. “I think that’s what he would have wanted”.
Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both.
Demonstrating: The EXTREME marshmallow cannon!
