To the members of the Patriot Guard,

Your tremendous generosity to honor America's Heroes humbles me. It was truly an honor for my family to have you stand the line for my brother SFC. Matthew Ryan Kahler. There are not words to express how much we appreciate your support and how we were awed by your dedication to brave such a cold Minnesota weekend.

In addition to standing the line, your pages of webpostings offering condolences and inspiration have brought so much comfort to my family. Our hearts overflow with gratitude and admiration for each of you.

Thank you,
Patrice
