If you post a date when this would be performed It would be an honor for me to attend if possible. Very well thought out ceremony. Well Done.

It's at a private residence, and space is an issue. However, we are possibly having another knighting ceremony on May 5th, in Frederick, MD if you'd like to attend.

Agreed, if I can make it, I will be there.  If not, will be with you all in spirit.

Just a reminder,

The date of my knighting has been postponed due to unforseable circumstances. Hopefully a new date can be made.

Sir John,

going through your "ceremony post" I must say, it left me speechless for a moment.  Beautifully done, and a warm-felt congratulations from across the nation!  I'd be humbled and honored if I would even be allowed to attend, dress blues and all and O P SEC be damned, full dress.  Since I know I'd not be able to make the trip, I hope my spirit is enough.  Congratulations on this grand achievement, and yes, I'm a fan of not having a eulogy afterward, even though that comment is what brought me out of the shock.

again, congratulations to you, good sir

Thank you.

My knighting has been postponed due to a bad back. I have been out of work this past week with therapy every day. I hope I'm soon better,

Sir John,

many well-wishes for your speedy recovery.  A thrown out back is not good news.  I've been there and in a cast of sorts for over four months.  Just don't try to push yourself to too quick of a recovery, and get x-rays.  I'm so glad my chiropractor took x-rays before making my back any worse, you'd be surprised what your back can go through.

many well wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery

B. Patricius,

I have had x-rays taken and know the source of my back pain. Thanks.
