The PGR has been invited to participate in a very exciting event to assist in the transfer of a Fallen Hero's Cart from Alaska Airlines to Reagan International Airport.
The participation will consist of a flag line in Ontario as the Fallen Hero’s cart in handed over to the participants of Run for the Wall who will take position and transport it with them to Reagan International in Washington D.C. The cart is being transported from Seattle WA., by ground transportation.
Alaska Airlines formed an internal, all-volunteer organization, the “Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Project”, to procure old luggage carts and renovate them. The group paints, decorate, and donates these carts to other International Airports to use as dedicated baggage carts to be used specifically for off-loading and transporting the remains of any of our fallen heroes.
The blue cart; adorned with American flag curtains, military insignias and a red carpet interior; is to ensure the remains of fallen soldiers are treated and transported with dignity and honor along their journey home to their final resting place. It’s the most visible component of the Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program.
