!!! ADDENDUM TO MISSION POSTING/PLEASE READ !!!
Please Note: This ride is intended to demonstrate our support for our local law enforcement agencies and is in no way associated with any counter protest movements. Please refrain from displaying ANY protest slogans, clothing or patches while on this ride. The Patriot Guard Riders in Southern California has been aware of recent tragic events having to do with our local Heroes, our Law Enforcement community, that have occurred throughout the country. We thought, what can we do to show our respect and support?
We can't do much, but we can do SOMETHING!
We came up with a Ride For The Blue to show our support. This ride will serve to thank our Law Enforcement Officers for putting on the uniform every day and putting themselves at risk to keep us safe here on the home front, very much like our troops put on the uniform to keep us safe around the world.
We do not take that commitment and effort lightly, we Appreciate you, Respect you and Honor you!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
We will be riding through the parking lots of all departments with "Thunder", we will not be there to disrupt their daily routine.
NOTE: To show your support if you are able please wear blue. If you have flag poles on your bike a nice gesture would be to fly a blue streamer from the top of the pole. NOTE: Those who cannot attend the entire ride are encouraged to meet at the fuel locations to join the ride, please be there at least 30 minutes before each scheduled stop if you wish to join. NOTE: Cages are welcome on the ride, riding at the back of the group in the normal formation for safety sake. NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Law Enforcement Heros. Please see the time table if you would like to participate.
