Stacy Rouse.  Several told Stacy they would have taken the STS 107 Crew Patch. Stacy stood
guard over it for about 3 hrs. He would not leave for fear someone would
take it. When Pricilla Powell called Houston They told Stacy to Bag it himself. He
did and the FBI showed up to take it into custody. Milton called him that night
and told him, "perhaps God had sent him to that very spot like an Angel to stand guard."

Below is Email Correspondence about the finding and taking care of STS 107 Crew Patch.

Elvis,
I am going to forward an e-mail I received from Stacy Rouse. Several told Stacy they would have taken the STS 107 Crew Patch. Stacy stood guard over it about 3 hrs. He would not leave for fear someone would take it. When Pricilla Powell called Houston They told Stacy to Bag it himself. He did and the FBI showed up to take it into custody. I called him that night and told I thought God had sent him to that very spot and I was proud of Him.

Marvin,

I could never thank you enough for the wonderful pictures, I have sent them out to a lot of friends and co-workers. I would like very much to keep in contact with you. I heard that there were some residents in San Augustine that wanted to erect a granite memorial at the site where the patch was found. If I hear more about this, I will be sure to let you know. Again thank you for your generosity and kind words....God Bless

Stacy Rouse

I don't really understand my desire to spread this around other than I think it helps me keep from breaking down into tears..

[Rouse, Stacy] I received a call shortly after returning home from a search effort that was going on in San Augustine. It was from a man that I had met briefly while standing guard over the STS-107 shuttle mission patch which I found on the side of HWY 103E. He was taking pictures of the patch along with countless others passing by. He was the only person to ask if he could take my picture along with the patch. I'm very thankful to Mr.. Marvin Powell and the thoughtful words he used to describe the event......Stacy Rouse

Dear Stacy,

Mat 10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father ( seeing it fall)
Mat 10:30  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

The eye of The almighty watched As that patch fluttered to the ground .
And then he sent an angel to stand guard over it.

Well done
