I recently received the All Gave Some , Some Gave All patch from Thecheapplace.com I wanted to share why this patch is so special to me . I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders we attend the funerals for fallen soldiers and Veterans , here just a couple of days ago we got word that Staff Sgt. Michael J. Garcia , 27, of Bossier City, La., died July 4 in Logar province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit using an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 63rd Ordnance Battalion, 52nd Ordnance Group . This is a hometown hero he gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country . The All Gave Some Some Gave All patch that I have sewn on my vest reminds me everyday what our men and women give for this country . These brave men and women leave behind their families to go fight for our freedom in this country and Billy Ray Cyrus said it all in his 1992 Song Some Gave All anyone that has heard this song it tells the story of what our men and women go through everyday. I am ready to stand tall in the flag line for SSG Michael J. Garcia our hometown hero and give him his final salute and lay him to rest . I will stand tall for all my fallen heroes past or present . I will always be reminded by All Gave Some Some Gave All Patch when attending the funerals of these fallen heroes that I am lucky to have theses brave men and women fighting for my freedom and protecting my country from harm . Every time I see a soldier around town I stop and shake their hand and say thank you because of what they do . Let all of us just be reminded of the soldiers fighting for us that All GAVE SOME , SOME GAVE ALL
