To all Patriot Guard Members,

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the Patriot Guards presence at SFC Matthew Kahler's funeral and memorial services on Feb. 8-9th in Granite Falls, MN. As a veteran and friend of Matthew, I heard so many great comments about the Patriot Guard's steadfast vigilance during the extreme cold and difficult time in Granite Falls. My fellow veterans who flew in from around the country and I were extremely impressed with the Guard and the whole Granite Falls area residents.

Thank you,

Ryan
82nd Airborne veteran
