The staging area information and times will follow shortly.
The Blue Star Mothers will provide a meal to every PGR member that attends.
We hope for a large turnout in support of the Blue Star Mothers, NKY Chapter 5 and the Gold Star Families they are hosting.
The Fallen Heroes that are to be memorialized have all been PGR Missions in the Tri-State.
We will need a headcount so the Blue Star Mothers can have enough food for all.
