bulzeye, I believe Cowgirl and Chief are in the process of getting it
all lined up right now and we should have the information here shortly.

The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.

Looks like I may be able to show for this one. Is anybody travelling from the middle tenn area? or points further north. I'd split a room and appreciate someone to ride with. My condolences to Spc. McKinzie's family and all others who've lost someone.

watrousmark,  I am planning on leaving Louisville, KY after work around 7PM Monday evening to whatever hotel in Indy people are staying at.  Don't know if this would work with your time frame or not.  You can reach me by posting here or e-mail me at chatter@achoist.com.

Just wondering if anyone is riding in from the Greenfield area on Tuesday?  I work at 21st and Shadeland and was planning on riding in from there but would change my plans to ride with a group if possible.  Semper Fi!

Hey sclemmr, and anyone else 2 wheeling or 4 wheeling from US31 North:
We'd be honored to have you hook up with our riders/drivers along US31 on Tuesday morning. I also believe Hugo is planning on making the ride from South Bend, but am unsure what his plans are right now. He's offered to volunteer his assistance and I'm sure we may take him up on that, but he doesn't know it yet! lol. Russ, Lisa, and Headhog's group from Silver Lake/Warsaw/N.Manchester/Wabash areas will definitely be meeting up with us in or around the Peru area. There has yet to be a definite area or time arranged for this group to leave near Peru on Tuesday morning, so please continue watching this thread or email me at roncoleman_associates@comcast.net and I will put you on my local rider list to receive up-to-the-minute details of our plans. I may stay in Indy Monday night, but if I do, solid arrangements WILL be posted and/or emailed within the next few days for any “Northern US31” rider wishing to meet and travel to Indianapolis as one group. Thanks.

Chief, Hugo and all those in Kokomo and north, I'm attempting to contact the HD dealer on the south side of Kokomo at this time. That would be the perfect place to meet with a large contingent of riders heading south that morning. It is on the west(southbound side) of 31 so we would not have to cross traffic to leave.
He has a large lot on the north side of the dealership that would be great. 

I have a call in at this time, I'll keep you posted.  Chuck.

I'll definitely do that Max. We'll be hearing from cowgirl here directly on her findings concerning lodging. Many thanks to you for obtaining extra flags and poles for use by some of our members. They will be needed! You go to great lengths to honor our fallen heroes; always going above and beyond the call of duty, not to mention the traveling of great distances to attend these missions. Indiana will be proud to see our Honorary Hoosier once again.

I also wanted to tell everyone this mission is coming together nicely and I guarantee you the family is most appreciative of everyone's support. They are reading your words of kindness and deepest expressions of sympathy. Each PGR members' efforts towards making this mission, either in person or in spirit, are not going unnoticed. They are aware that we will be there honoring their son, our fallen hero, regardless of any others' intended presence, and your commitments and dedication towards this Indianapolis mission is simply overwhelming. Thank you all again for your replies and promised presence at this mission on the morning of April 11th. Thank you, too, for those unable to join us but are sending your thoughts and prayers to Corporal Antoine J. McKenzie, the Adams and McKenzie families, their friends, and community. God bless them, and all of you. Please continue your successful efforts in getting the word out. A most special Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Adams for inviting the Patriot Guard Riders and giving us the opportunity to show our deepest sympathies and respect to you as a family. Our most heartfelt appreciation goes out to you and Antoine for his service to our country. We will be there for you as your son was there for us. God Bless you.

I will be riding South on US 31 from State Road 28 and would like to hook up with those of you coming that way. If you are interested there is a Mom and Pop restaurant at the US31 SR 28 intersection that puts out a very good breakfast.
I work in the Carmel/North Indianapolis area and know my way around very well. (I run a service truck) If traffic is bad, I can get us around the back way (all paved roads) to where we are going.

Lead, follow or get out of the way!

It will be an honor to show my respect to Spc. McKinzie and his family. This will be my first mission. I'm visiting family in Illinois and will be heading home to South Carolina through Indianapolis to help honor this hero. It is the least I can do for those who have given so much. It is wonderful to be part of a group who has found a small way to show respect for and thank those who serve our country so selflessly. Thank you all. See you on the 11th. My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Spc. McKinzie - it is a great loss.
