!!! UPDATED TIME TABLE AND STAGING LOCATION FOR OCEANSIDE BELOW!!!
This Marine Unit wanted the PGR to accompany from March to their home base so much, they have changed their route to come in a different gate that will allow the PGR to accompany the buses. Below is an UPDATED TIME TABLE to accommodate their wishes.
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!
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.
