To all Patriot Guard Members,

My name is SGT Ernesto F. P. I was one of the pallbearers for my brother SFC Matthew R. Kahler. I would like to take a few minutes to Thank everyone who stood guard for all of his events. I am so proud to see that a organization like the Patriot Guard Riders exist. For those who stood out there in that ice cold air, I salute you. Some of my tears that came down my face this weekend were from the patriotism displayed out there. "AIRBORNE"

With Respect,
SGT Ernesto F. P.
Former SKY SOLDIER with the 173rd
