** TIME CHANGE * TIME CHANGE **
This arrival is expected to arrive 2.5 hours later than what we were originally told. Please see updated time table below and remember this COULD change again! Please check your emails and this thread BEFORE LEAVING. (LOANER RULE still applies) Thanks!**Important Note** This group of Marines is VERY large and we need your help to accompany them home to their families in style!! 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 their unit base camp. Please see the time table below if you would like to participate.
("LOANER RULE" + some has been applied to cut down on waiting times.) UPDATED Time table for Sunday, 16 NOV 141800 - Stage at Gus Jr., 22380 Cactus Ave., Moreno Valley, CA 92553.
