Brazoria County Cavalry

Yesterday the Brazoria County Cavalry came out to honor my SIL Major Jason Lewallen and to my surprise I was honored for my Viet Nam service. I thought I was being pretty smart setting this up for my SIL but my daughter pulled a fast one on me and asked them to honor me as well. I was given a Texas flag that had flown over the State Capitol Buikding, a medallion that gets me free entry into the Brazoria County Fair for life, a welcome home/ service medal, free meals at area restaurants, and free admission to area attractions and events. I also presented a rod to my SIL. He is a highly decorated officer and soon will be going to Afghanistan. He served in Somalia and Iraq earning meritorios service awards in both campaigns. I have told the Brazoria County Cavalry for any soldier that met our criteria of being wounded or decorated that the Texas Rod Buiilders would provide them a rod. I am going to try to provided a rod for as many of the soldiers that they honor as I can. If they do not meet our criteria I will pay for it myself.
Pat

congratulations Pat, to you and your SIL, I (we) appreciate your service to our country
and any rod you build for our soldiers should be covered by the club and if not I will chip in to cover some of the cost.

the honors bestowed upon you and your SIL are well deserved

once again, congratulations
