To the Kansas Patriot Guard,
            
            PFC Chad Marsh, lost in battle recently in Baghdad, was a cherished
            
            best friend to our son and nearly like one of our own kids. The loss
            
            of Chad has been intense to say the least, and the sorrow we feel
            
            will not go away any time soon. We wanted to pass along our thanks,
            
            however, for the caring and involvement of your organization as Chad
            
            came home. Your dedication to serving the families of these 
            tremendous heroes goes a long way to helping families heal as you
            
            give the fallen the pride and respect they so greatly deserve.
            
            God Bless each of you as you continue to serve in the Kansas Patriot
            
            Guard. Your willingness to give of your time and resources is a 
            tremendous blessing to the families of those you honor.
            
            Sincerely,
