Patriot Guard Rider Participation in
Fort Hood Tragedy Killeen Memorial Park Reveal
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to participate in the City of Killeen's Fort Hood Tragedy Memorial Park Reveal being conducted at the Shilo Inn/Killeen Civic & Conference Center on Friday, 5 Nov 10.

Although we are calling our participation a "Flagline," the flags will be prepositioned on rebar. The idea is to be able to interface with the Survivors, their Families and the Families of the Fallen attending this function. We WILL Stand Tall, but do not have to be Silent this time!

To facilitate our participation the following information is submitted:

Date: Friday, 5 Nov 10
