Let's have a good turnout for this fun opportunity to honor our service men and women, raise awareness of the PGR and what we do, and enjoy some baseball together.

We had nine bikes and 11 riders on the field at the Dell Diamond last night. To those who didn't make it, you missed a fun time!

Great seats provided by the Express, plus a free beer for veterans! Thanks to Sammy and Sassy who rode in from the Houston area and Scott who rode up from San Antonio and brought along his brother Todd.

There were some moving tributes to those who lost their lives in service to our nation including a young widow with her small daughter who threw the first pitch. Two trumpeters from the 1st Cav band out of Ft Hood played an awesome version of the national anthem.

We managed to stay off the grass again, so assuming we're invited back next year be sure to attend.
