!! UPDATE - TIME CHANGE - SEE NEW TIME TABLE BELOW !!The Commanding Officer of this Army Unit has asked the Patriot Guard Riders to provide a Send-Off to one of their units who are deploying overseas. The least we can do is show these military men and women and their families that we support and appreciate what they sacrifice for us all.
We hear constantly from the commands of these units how much our showing up for these Welcome Homes and Send-Offs adds to the unit morale for their troops. Come help us give some small measure of thanks to these warriors who give us so much in return. Let's bring our smiles, flags, hugs and support for these men and women as we send them off into into potential harm's way and pray for their safe return home.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Heroes. For those interested, we will be accompanying these Soldiers approx. 20 miles to their departure location. Please see the time table below if you would like to participate.
