Why did I join Pafra: Well I have been in rodeo for a long time and been a member of many associations and while I have made many wonderful friends over the years, none of these associations offered me the kind of camaraderie like Pafra does putting like minded military people together that share a passion for rodeo and the western way of life and these great people are not just friends they are family we may not see each other for months but when we do it’s like you’re back home.
