Quincy, IL - "Defend Those Who Defended Us"

Alert

PEKIN, IL 10 NOV 06, Show Time: 7:30 pm

Staging will be at The Concorde Inn & Suites at 2801 Court St. Pekin, IL. 61554

PH: 309-347-5533

Some of the PGR ladies in this area will be having Chili and Vegetable soup for anyone who wants to eat at 5:30 pm.

THE PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS WILL ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THIS MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN SERVICE….PAST AND PRESENT.

A PORTIONS OF THE PROCEEDS GO TO THE FREEDOM ALLIANCE SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund honors the bravery and dedication exhibited by Americans in our armed forces who have sacrificed life and limb by providing educational scholarships to their children.

Patriot Guard Riders will be escorting Mr. Greenwood into the dome and surrounding audience with American flags. Gold Star parents are anticipated to be there. There are no costs involved to PGR.

Staging time for just the mission will be at 6:30 pm with the aprox. departure time to the Dome around 7:30...this is not suppose to be public knowledge....as the Greenwood People and the Dome do not want the Public to know the PGR are gonna be there.

Hope to see all of you there and anyone who has not emailed me directly with confirmation that you are coming I would greatly appreciate it if you did so. They need a general idea, as to how many PGR will be attending... please e-mail me at ladyrider8857@yahoo.com ......... Can't wait to see all of you.......Deb

My family and I are so very honored to be counted as one of the Gold Star families to be included in on this tribute. Words cannot explain how grateful we are to the PGR and all the organization has done to honor our son Matthew since his death on 8-29-06. Lee Greenwood was one of his favorites. He also happens to be one of the Artist that my younger children "do know" that doesn't sing hard rock. Thank you to all of you, I will never be able to re-pay all that you have done for Matthew and us. Amy Lingle Gold Star Mom

We'll be there. Mr. Greenwood is one of the most patriotic people in the entertainment industry and supports the troops more than most others do. Also, a part of the proceeds go to the Freedom Alliance. This is one of the most worthwhile charities that I know of. I know that most PGR members know what the Freedom Alliance is, but for those who may not, it is a charity started by Oliver North that provides college tuition for children of service members who have been killed or disabled. Ollie and a few others finance this organization out of thier own pockets so 100% of the money contributed goes to the cause. It doesn't get much better than that. This will be great.
