Initial response....I am shocked to think that there is even a need for this Project! I guess "life" happens to us all and things fall through cracks and are forgotten. Thank God someone saw this need and is addressing it. I will be offering my immediate assistance to the Directer of the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery (who is also my VFW Post Commander) to help in any way I can with this Project. May these souls Rest in Peace. Patrick

My hands may sometimes be dirty, but my conscience is always clean.

Thank You! To the VA for its tireless efforts on behalf of those who have served this nation. Our sincere condolences to the families of these patriots who are finally receiving the proper respect and honor which is their due. And gratitude to our nation where we are privileged to honor those who have fallen in our stead. God bless you and go before you. Matt

I will be attending this Mission in Boise,ID. I cannot come to grips with the fact that some of "US" are sitting on shelves in the United States. This must be rectified. Aside from those sitting in Funeral Homes, I feel there are lots of Cremains in family homes sitting in closets or on fireplace mantles, that would welcome the PGR's help in getting them the Respect and Honor they deserve. It is time for those that "care" to "Walk the Walk". We the PGR, will offer a safe haven for all to receive their Military Honors.

This is a beautiful thing being done for these American Patriots. I can not attend, but I will be there in Spirit. May these American Hero's Rest In Peace.

I know that it's highly unlikely the families of these Patriots will ever read what we say here. But, for that reason, I want all of you PGR members there to know that this is a good and honorable thing you're doing! At the VERY least, every veteran deserves a proper burial at the hands of those who honor and respect them for their time and sacrifice defending this country. I only wish I could be there to stand with you. Thank you all!

God Bless these Veterans and their families for their sacrifice and brave service to our country. God Bless the Patriot Guard Riders for seeing to it that these heroes receive the honor they have earned. Those PGR who are not able to join you physically will be with you in spirit. Thank you and Ride Safe... God Bless America.

All - Piggybacking on DirtCook's note below, I will leave the Twin Falls area at 0630 Thursday to join up with the Mountain Home riders at 0830. If any would like to accompany me, please send a post offline and we can decide on a rendovous point. If weather conditions prevent a motorcycle event, I can carry 5 additional bodies. Idaho has been fortunate to not have been as hard hit as some other states; let's check our schedules and do what we can to support this worthy cause! Shane LeiserBunch9@yahoo.com
