The Patriot Guard has been invited by Dogs on Hawgs founder, and PGR member, Jon Hemp to attend a memorial at the War Dog Memorial at Camp Pendleton.
This will be an event to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the new monument on Camp Pendleton to memorialize War Dogs and their handlers. There are Gold Star families who will be present and there will be a reading of the names.
After the ceremonies there will be a ALL SERVICES FEED (BBQ) at the Provost Marshall/1st Marine Expeditionary Forces Kennel, all attendees are welcome.
This will begin offsite at Carrow's Restaurant parking lot in Oceanside and the PGR, ALR and other riders will ride together with Jon and his group to the event, cages are welcome.
We have been unable to get a Ride Captain so we are putting this out as an event with no R/C, just show up and bring your flags. If there are enough flags/members then appoint someone to speak with Jon and organize a flag line at the ceremony and call orders.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PGR MISSION, THIS IS AN EVENT FOR YOUR INFO ONLY
