The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited by the commanding officer of a U.S. Army Unit that is deploying in support of OEF to be present at their deployment ceremony, we would be honored to be there.
This unit is composed of Army Mariners, specialized soldiers. The command will be having a ceremony to honor them, wishing them well, and hoping for a safe return, we will do a Flag Line in that spirit.
Please bring your smiles, handshakes, thank yous and flags and be prepared to render a respectful salute to these brave soldiers.
