Hello, to all my newly acquired friends, YOU ROCK!!
I have been friends with KOOTS family for a VERY LONG TIME, and they are
such wonderful people. I want to say that the services you all provided for
them, in their time of need, was just so awesome! It's very hard for me to
explain and to put in words, without sounding like gibberish. I just want
to thank you for everything, because they are going through a rough time,
and I love them so much.
KOOT, which I always called Dad, would always ask me how my blood
surgars were, and ask how I was feeling. I really liked him a lot.
Just a short note to say thanks for everything that you do, and what you
stand for. GOD BLESS YOU!

I am the only sister Susan Valencia had.
I love and miss her dearly. I know of her great dedication to the New
Mexico Patriots.
I was so touched by the memoriam for Susan, I know she enjoyed it, she was
so saddened that she could no longer attend the rally's.
The New Mexico Patriots was her life.
Thank-you for being there for her.

I thank you all for what you do and your service to our Country.
I am from Belen, NM. I am married to a Marine Vietnam vet, and a retired
National Guards Man. I work for the City of Belen.
I took Photos of the two Soldiers' funeral in Belen in July of this year. I
made a DVD video of both the funerals.
I would like to share 2 videos with your group. Is is possible to come to
one of your meetings where the riders who attend funerals would be at? I am
sure you would all like to view them. The photo videos are only 4 minutes
long.

We have just lost another member of our family, Arther (Koot) Lute. Koot
was a father, brother to us and we will miss him. I hope the following
poem will show a little of our feelings for him.

"My Four Friends"

The light was dim and the beer was cold
As I sat alone at the bar.
It was times like these when I felt quite old
And pondered my youth from afar.

I took a sip and as it passed my lip,
I heard him say “Hey, you over there.”
What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for you.
Come on and pull up a chair.”

I knew the voice but couldn’t place the face
Of the man who called me by name.
I knew him as a friend from another place
But I was drawing a blank just the same.

I joined the table with the four of them
And shook their hands all around.
It seemed to me that I was their friend
Or at least they were friends I’d just found.

We ordered a pitcher and filled our glass
And the stories began to fly.
Like most bar talk, it’s hard to tell
Who’s truthful and who’s telling a lie.

Walter talked about travel and his time in France
And the girls from across the sea.
He remembered his buddies and the planes he’d flown
And the beaches at Normandy.

Peggy recalled the smell of fresh coffee
And huddling in the nurse’s tent.
The bitter cold of the Korean wind
And the mortars that came and went.

“I grew up on a farm”, said Max with a grin.
“Man, someday I’d love to go back.”
Since leaving I’ve seen the jungles of Nam
With a rifle, a helmet and pack.”

Koot was by far the newest one there
And had very little to say.
“I miss my family”, is all he said.
“You buried me today.”

I met some of the wonderful members at the "Run For Veterans" a
couple of weeks ago, and I was impressed with the friendship between each
other and for others.I asked for information on membership, and they were
willing to share that information. Thank You. Speedy.
