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 Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
The participation of So Cal PGR will consist of an accompany from Victorville to Ontario and a Flag Line in Ontario as the Fallen Hero’s cart is handed over to the participants of Run for the Wall. RFTW will transport it with them to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The cart is being transported from Seattle WA., by ground transportation, and accompanied all the way by the PGR and other riding groups throughout Washington, Oregon and California.
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. These carts are available for use by all Airlines that transport our Heroes at the airports they serve.
The blue cart is adorned with American flag curtains, military insignias and a red carpet interior; is to ensure the remains of Fallen Heroes 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.
