My brother called me tonight to ask if I would like to do a Patriot Guard ride..

[MAD6Gun]

 My brother Wayne is a member of the Patriot Guard riders. He asked me tonight if I would like to go on a ride this Sunday to escort Spc. Nicholas A. Taylor 20 home to Berne IN.  He was killed on July 16th in Afghanistan. I said yes so Twila and I will be doing the ride.

 The ride will start at National Guard base in Ft Wayne and escort him home to Berne.

Is there anyone else doing this ride ????

[steve 3054]

WOW!!!   What an honor that would be!!!!       

[R J]

Mark, join the PGR, it is easy and it is FREE.

I have belonged for quite awhile now, but haven't been able to ride on an escort for about 3 or 4 years now.

[Big Rig]

It is an honor to do these rides.

I ride with the PGR and Warriors Watch.

[fudgie]

I talk to Wayne all the time at the PGR missions. What time does this ride leave? I got it on e-mail but only glanced at it cause it mentioned the 30th and I'll hope to be on the road west by then. I'm packing the bike Sunday but if it works out I maybe there.

What time?

Mark, I'm a member of the PGR, but have yet to have the honor of riding escort. I'd be honored to join this ride. Please let me know the details.
