Bob,
This is going to be a must for all PGR members.
Having up to 1000 bikes rolling into Lufkin Airport would be the most awesome site if we pull it off.

Stand proud my soldier
For my armed forces I proudly stand, thankful for their sacrifice flag in hand.
They gave their life so mine could be free, they held the line just for me.
Their lives were given for God and country, not for the glory or for the money.
Their shift was long and their pay was short, they proudly stand now in Gods court.
He smiles upon them and takes their hand, at attention in heaven they proudly stand.
You’ve done your job and I ask you in, at ease my soldier you’re now among friends.
Here above you can watch and see, that old glory still fly’s and your country is free.
So many like you are here and their lives they gave, so their family’s can be free and your flag can wave.
There is a flag draped coffin just for you, the colors upon it are red, white, and blue.
For awhile your family may take it hard, but for you and for them stand the Patriot Guard.

I am planning on attending. It sounds great. The registration site says it is free to current Heros. What will will the cost to others be? I saw no sign of where or how to pay it.

We all must give thanks to all who serve in order that we might be free. |

I am interested inn a Xenia meeting and back roads. Please keep me in mind. I would guess it is not far out of the way, if any, for people from Beavercreek and other places.
