To all the members of the MN Patriot Guard:

Thank you so much for honoring Patrick with your presence at his visitation and funeral. Your support and commitment means so much to us! A special thank you to all of those who stood for hours in the freezing temps and cold wind.

We are both very proud of his accomplishments and twice as proud knowing he helped defend this great country's principals and convictions. No words can convey the pain we are both feeling at the loss of our child but know he was a great American and will be remembered and praised by all for his actions and commitment to his country. Your plaque is proudly displayed in our home, as a reminder to our family of his service. I have sent a donation via the web site in memory of Patrick.

Special thanks to Tom Langdon for his leadership and the calls and visits since Patrick's services.

Please know your kindness during this hard time has meant so much to our family.

Thank you,

John & Carol Howard Allison & Austin
