This mission will no longer have a secondary staging in Escondido. We had another W/H mission invite at the last minute so we will be dividing to conquer! Mike will be staging at Fallbrook INSTEAD of Escondido on 05 OCT 14 to accompany a separate group to their home base.
 
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 an alternate location for their Homecoming Event.  Please see the time table below if you would like to participate.


Time table for Sunday, 05 OCT 14

0700 - Stage at Gus Jr., 22380 Cactus Ave., Moreno Valley, CA 92553 http://goo.gl/maps/AiqgG
*NOTE: This will be a longer than normal accompaniment to San Diego, please be fueled up and ready to go!
