I want to thank everyone for coming out today to support the 1st annual Veterans Day Memorial. The program was very good with very good speaches.We even had a fly over. AND, They detaacated a new statue that you MUST go see.
There were 15 of us & everyone did a great job & the folks really appreciated us being there. Some of us went to eat & were treated by Paula & her sister Angie. Thank you guys very very much.IF U GOT FLAGS FOR YOUR BIKE, FLY THEM. STOP B-FOR U GET THER TO UNFURREL & RIDE IN WITH HEAD HELD HIGH. I'M FLYING MIND ALL DAY. I DID LAST YEAR & EVERY WHERE I WENT, PEOPLE GAVE ME A THUMBS UP, THANK U'S & THE LIKE.
Once again, you men & women of the PGR have shown your best for one of our fallen heros & his family. In one of the hottest days of the year, U stood firm in the flag line. It never ceases to amaze me how much U are willing to go through to render such amazing respect & honors. U make an incredible difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank U is just not enough for what U do, but THANK U, THANK U, THANK U!
We had 59 bikes & 6 cages. Members came from as far away as Houston & Beeville with units from Austin, Centex & Brazos Valley. We even had a GOLD STAR MOM stand tall with us inspite of how difficult it was for her. We are all very proud of you & all GS parents that stand our ranks.
Again, Thank you all so very much especially from those of us who are VN vets.Looking forward to meeting all of U from Brazos Valley. B sure to intro yourselves to me when U get there. There is a parking lot X from church that has shade trees.
We will be parking there (4 bikes per space.) So 1st 2 bikes will park back to front with the rest following suit down the line.I will be leaving from the Exxon/McDonolds @ Grand Ave Park Way & I 35 @ 0800
A big THANK U to the 6 that went to Burnet from Austin PGR. At the church, there was about 40 bikes plus several cages. My brother from Burnet, rode his first KIA funeral procession & like all of us, was moved so much when he saw all the people along the road.
As it turned out, I was able to get to Pflugerville for the grave side part of the Austin mission.
Thanks again everyone. UR super.14 riders showed up at Austin stagging today. And @ the Burnet stagging there was 44 bikes several cages & a ton of civilians. Those of U who experienced a small town reception for a fallen hero for the first time, I'm sure had a most moving ride.
Thank you all for taking the time to show the family & town folks what honering & respect is all about.
Hope to see many of you there Wed as we will again stage at 183 & 29. (0800)
We will head for the Austin mission as soon as the grave side part is completed.Any Austin riders who wish to attend both the KIA & MSG missions, checki the time line. My plan is to immediately head to the church in Austin as soon as we break from the intermen in Lampasas. That will put us at the church around 1:30 give or take. If it's much later, than we will go directly to the cemetery.
22 patriotic men & women showed up for today's mission. and you all showed yourselves proud as usual. We had 2 new members, Eric & Tom. I know from talking with U that we'll see U again.
Several members of the family expressed their heartfelt gradtitde for our being there & showing such powerful respect. So Thank U patriots. U R fantactic & I was proud to serve with U.Anyone wishing to ride up to Burnett together, meet at McDonolds exit 254 for a 9 ish KSU.
What a great turn out. 38 bikes plus several cages. Family comments were plenty. All were so very impressed with our show of respect & honor. One elderly lady told us " seeing all of you & all those flags makes me proud to be an American."
Proud indeed. As R we to serve are fellow patriots in this special way.

If U arrive B-4 I do, parking is on the street (northbound Kimbro) Back into the curb tightly starting 2 bikes back from Lake st. This way we will be ready to move out in the procession. Thanks in advance for your attendance in honorering one of the greatest generation & the F in L of Sam.

What a great turn out for such a short notice. Thank you all so much for showing once again what respect & honor means to our military families & friends.
We had 35 PGR at the funeral home with all but 12 going on ahead to establish a flag line at the church. The 12, escorded the family & LTC Nelson to the church.
Thanks too to the 6 who stayed at the church to be pall bearers for LTC Nelson's ride back to the funeral home for later transportation to Arlington National Cemetery.
