Updated.  The second mission has been moved.  We are down to just one mission in Jacskonville now.

Kool



We have been invited to attend not one but two missions in Jacksonville on Saturday.  We need all hands possible this weekend.  Come if you can.  Bring lots of flags we're probably going to need to make a rather long flag wall.

Thanks guys.  Disreguard the dual mission.  The second one will be in another place.
Concentrate on the Calloway mission, We believe we'll have company.

I just heard about the PGR today and signed up.  I am not familiar with all the protocol, so bear with me.  What size flag do I need to buy?  Do we have to wear helmets?  My leather vest has some obscentities on it, only a few.  Should I cover them up?  I am a Navy vet 71-77, Vietnam era.  I am in the Indian Riders Assoc and H.O.G.
I really admire you all and I would like to be a part of this. 
Thanks so much

Barry

Welcome Barry!!! We all try to have a 3x5 flag with a pole for the flag line. Helmets are not required unless our mission is on a military base that requires them. As far as your vest...that's your call...however, there will be ladies present, so you should just use your judgement.

Again, welcome to the family!!

Thanks John
There is only one patch and I can use masking tape.  After work tomorrow, I will get a flag and will be there at FCCJ parking lot at 10:45 AM, I am in the Mandarin area.  God bless you all and especially our troops.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome.  Will be leaving work early to buy a flag.  I have already ordered patches for my vest, decals for my truck and an armband.
Looking forward to my duty. 
It feels like I am back in the military serving my country.  I miss it.  To this day I regret not making it a career.
