In the interest of time we will not have any rally points or a staging area for a group ride to the mission site.  Please try to be at the mission site by 5:15 P.M., but not at the expense of safe riding.  As you approach the mission site watch for PGR Ride Captains and Riders to direct you to our designated parking area.


Please flag your bikes and bring a flag to hold in the flag line.  We want to display as much of our Country's colors on the street and in the courtyard as we can.


WHEN: Friday, October 17, 2008 @ 6:00 P.M.

WHERE: 645 Penn St., Reading, PA

                 families, dignitaries, guests, and speakers.

                 5:55 P.M. re-set Flag Line for dedication ceremonies.

Patriots, I know that it will be difficult for many of you to break loose
early enough on a Friday to make it to Reading by 5:15 or even 6:00, but
please make every effort to get there to stand and honor these four Heroes
and their GOLD STAR MOTHERS & FAMILIES. 'Its the right thing to do.'

                     ...............MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.................MISSION COMPLETE................


I want to thank the Patriots who came to set and stand an honor flag line for the Banners for Berks’ Hometown Heroes dedication ceremony honoring four Berks County soldiers and their Gold Star Mothers and families. It was a solemn event in an inviting city courtyard that included playing of the bagpipes, an Army Color Guard, 21 gun salute and taps by a talented young lady from the Reading area. Twenty Patriot Guard Riders proudly responded to the invitation of the Gold Star Mothers to stand to honor these soldiers and their families. Again, I thank you.
