My
Father grew up a very poor man, but in his short life, he was very rich in
service to his country. I was riding with my Father when the accident
happened at one year old. I did not have the honor to grow up with him,
but I promise to honor him and all Rangers until the day I die! I know in
my heart, he would be proud of me! He is my hero!
Rangers
lead the way!
