President Roosevelt thanks Major Bridgman and Squadron A of the New York National Guard, and has made the request for them to be his personal escort. Roosevelt may also have members of the Rough Rider Regiment as part of the escort but says he will work out details later. Because Squadron A was his escort when he was made Governor of New York and Vice President, he would like them to be in the same position now.
