!! THIS IS THE WELCOME HOME AT MIRAMAR THAT WAS POSTPONED FROM WED TO FRIDAY/TIMES BELOW !!

The Command and FRO (Family Readiness Officer) of a Marine Unit have asked the Patriot Guard Riders to welcome home their brave Marines and Sailors from a recent deployment. These men and women have lived in an environment very different from the one you and I are fortunate to be able to wake up to everyday.  Let's all come out and show them how much we appreciate what they do for us every day!

Bring your flags, your smiles, your handshakes, your hugs and your thank yous!!  This means a lot to the troops and to their families to see the show of support!
 
NOTE:  This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Marine Unit.  For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying these Marines to their unit base camp.  Please see the time table below if you would like to participate.
