***************************************************************************
Received the following email requesting PGR presence to a Units Welcome home for the 362 EOD, AZ ARNG. Still do not have any specifics but will post as soon as we do.
Would like to request your attendance along with any Patriot Riders that may be available for a unit welcome home ceremony. Obviously schedules can change, but tentatively we have them arriving to Sky Harbor on the 24th of July. The time as of yet still needs to be determined, but historically it has been somewhere from late morning to early afternoon.
Please let us know if you would be able to support.
Thank you for what you do,
JOEL S. KENT, MSG, AZ ARNG
RIDE CAPTAIN: Craig Smith
STAGING: Cutter Aviation and time to be determined on the 24th of July

Sorry I am late posting the mission note.
We had around 20 people show up for this short notice Welcome Home. We were able to meet a few people who are interested in joining up. 23 EOD personnel were able to walk by the beautiful flag line into the arms of their families and friends.
I appreciate the hard work this group of heroes did for us overseas. I appreciate the men and women who came to welcome them home. |
