We've witnessed countless blessings that have come unexpectedly and have changed our lives. Our relationship with the Brazoria County Cavalry is one of them. When Peyton became an honorary Firefighter he was then eligible to become an honorary member of the Brazoria County Cavalry, in fact, he's the only honorary member of the cavalry. The day of his birthday party our street was filled with fire trucks and countless motorcycles, one of which even brought Santa. In our front yard they presented Peyton with his custom made leather vest and spoke of his strength, courage, and faith. We knew very little about them when they first extended their services but have come to admire, respect, and love the men and women who spend so much of their time in selfless service.
The following is from an e-mail I recently received. Thought I'd pass it along...
Cavalry and Extended Families,
Many of you have asked how you can make a donation or help Brazoria County Cavalry. Even though we need more of your time than your donations, we are asking you to assist us by purchasing BBQ plates donated by owner Joe Gordin of AMEN Cycles. Joe wanted to do something to support BCC and our Heroes. All proceeds from the sale of the BBQ plates will help BCC continue to purchase hats that we give to every Hero we go see.
We are asking you to come to AMEN Cycles located at 16195 Hwy 288, Angleton, Texas on Saturday September 4th 2010 between 11:00am and 1:00pm to help us help others. Those who serve our Country and County deserve everything we can give them. The BBQ plates will be sold for $10.oo each with the goal of selling 500 plates. Please let all of your friends know about this event. Our Heroes are worth it.
So with that, my friends, I invite you to treat your family to what I'm sure will be some fantastic Texas BBQ and know that you are supporting a very worthy organization that does a lot of good.
Every morning since, and everytime I say "come on Jack, lets go get the kids" he runs over, grabs his backpack and heads out the door.
