Thank You From The Bottom of Our Hearts
Matagorda County Cavalry Members,
Thank you so much for the fantastic presentation you gave when your organization stopped by for J. “Alex” (Ware)Kiefer’s
graduation from Marine Basic Training/send off party. It was a day I know none of us will ever forget, and was priceless for us
family members who love Alex so much. It is so important in today’s culture of conflicting media messages for our kids who are
serving our country so bravely to know they are supported. The Matagorda County Cavalry does this not only with words, but with
action. I can’t describe the wonder on his face when he first heard, then saw, the multitude of motorcycles coming down our
(usually quiet) country road. And then to realize that they were there to show appreciation for him! I know that this memory will
help to sustain Alex through many tough times to come as he serves. It was such a blessing for each person from your organization
to shake his hand and speak some words of encouragement. I don’t often see Alex speechless, but he was definitely awed by what he
experienced that day. Never underestimate the value of what you do for these people who are serving our country in various ways,
and for their families. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
With much appreciation,
The Reher/Ware/Ritz/Mangum/Fife families
