| We will meet the IE riders at Cantu Galleano Rd at 12:15. My only request is that we don't do 80-85 mph on our trip to Temecula!! There is no sissy-bar on Duane's beloved bike and going that fast makes be a little nervous.....hmmmm, maybe that's why Du likes going that fast in the first place!!! See you all Sunday...ride safe!

2 things:
1. All participants are asked to bring their U.S. Flags of any size.
2. You can plug in your starting point here for a map to the Home Depot, Temecula:

Note: This stretch of Hwy 79 also goes by "Temecula Parkway".

I-15 riders...
There's also a fast food place, can't remember which one, between Tom's Farms and the freeway offramp. Would that be an easier spot to meet? If so, we would send a scout through Tom's Farms before leaving, to be sure we didn't miss anyone.
Frank, I'll plan to meet at Starbucks. Are you bringing that gorgeous marine's mom with you?

Google Map Click here for map shows 32.6 miles and 31 min from Tom's Farm to 32020 US Highway 79 S, Temecula, CA. 92592 This should get us there in plenty of time.

Carl's Jr. it is. Probably less crowded and less chance of losing each other.
We'll be heading donw to meet Duane and Cookie just south of the CA-60 then we'll get down to Carl's.
Mayor, no my better 3/4 will not be with me, but I'll be there :)
See you tomorrow.

Ok everybody here's the latest:
The weather gurus call for sunny and 86 Sunday afternoon. Please hydrate and stay hydrated.
Looks like we may have a large turnout. Let's assemble on the side of the Home Depot closest to the bank so as not to impede traffic going in to our host's store.
If possible I'd like us to assemble and park in 4 lines which will mirror the order I'd like us to ride/drive in.
Here is the order for the procession:
Line 1: Bikes with tall flags (all but 2) followed by the bikes carrying Blue & Gold Star Mothers.
Line 2: All other bikes.
Line 3: PGR cars followed by PhunTime Cruiser Club in their Pt Cruisers
Line 4: All trucks followed by any Tribute Trucks with BMad as the sweep cage.
The remaining 2 bikes with tall flags will run sweep behind Bridget.
I will be there by 2pm . To anyone arriving there earlier than me please remember to stage on the side of the store closest to the bank. The bank will be closed so we should have more room to stage on that side.
I can use all the help I can get tomorrow with staging, chauferring our Blue & Gold Star Mothers and of course Road Guards. If you care to volunteer for any of these positions, as some of you already have, please come see me.
Thank you all for your participation in advance.
Love to all,
Primo

Primo,
Brother Thank You for invited us to Celerbrate The Life of Lt. Col. William Gregory Hall today. It was a Honor to meet his Family and Friends and to see how close they are to each other.
I told Mrs. Hall if ever she or her Family ever need anything to contact you and we would come out and help with any work she needs to get done.
Again my sincere condolences to the Family of Lt. Col. Hall may God Bless you all during these trying times.
Your Brother Marine Always,
Pegleg |

Hey Primo…….
Great job organizing and orchestrating the Memorial today…..I looked like it went very well.
How about this…….I just read the back of the program Candy handed out and noticed that Lt. Col. Hall attended Washington State University the same time I did!!!!
I was there from 1987 to 1991, but I see he graduated in 1992 (I was on the fast track….I wanted to get out and start working).
I don’t recall ever meeting him nor does he look familiar to me………but isn't it something that we may have crossed paths in some class we both attended at some point!!!
Like they always say………..it REALLY is a small world.

WOW !!!!
That really sums up the way things went today.
It's now 2 years and 2 weeks since I joined the PGR. In that time I have had many proud moments being a member of this great organization.
But never have I been anywhere near as proud of this group as I was today.
When I approached Gunny about a month ago about doing this mission I was hoping for 25 bikes.
After this last week of emails and reading the postings I figured YIKES , we might need more dog tags. Rose made more and Bob Paris , one of the Phun Time Cruiser bunch, brought down some more this afternoon. Thanks Bob.
We sold 68 tags and took orders for 30 more. We had to have over a hundred attendees today.
Overwhelming!
Where to start?
Thank you to the 12 or so newbies attending today. I hope to see you all on future missions.
Thank you to the wonderful Women of the Blue Star and Gold Star Mothers and their spouses especially to Sandra Aceves for her wonderful presentation of the Gold Star Banner.
Thank you to the numerous Christian MM members that showed up today.
Thank you to all the independents who were friends of friends or came due to Candy and Butch spreading the word through their networks.
Thank you to those individuals and groups that stepped forward with mementos to present to my cousin, the Lt. Col's widow.
Thank you to the riders that gave the Blue/Gold Star Mom's rides on your backseats.
Thank you Bridget and Barbara for taking all the photos. I can't wait to see them.
Candyman, I love you Brother.
Thank you to the brave and skilled riders that stepped forward for Road Guard duty and did a great job getting us all from the Home Depot to the Hall home without any incidents or stops.
Thank you to all the tall flag riders, no flag riders and cage participants
Thank you to whomever it was that started singing the Star Spangled Banner.
Thank you to the rest of you for joining in the singing.
Thank you to all my Brothers and Sisters of the PGR.
I'm afraid to start calling out individual names for fear of leaving out anyone but just know that if you were there I thank you and you have my love, respect and admiration.
Thank you Lt. Col. William Gregory Hall USMC for paying the ultimate price in protection of all we hold so near and dear to us in this great Nation.
My cousin Xio (Zee-O) was overwhelmed and asked me to thank you all for the outpouring of love and support you showed her an her family this day.
P.S. To those that ordered dog tags: I should have them within the week and I will be contacting you all shortly thereafter so I can mail them to you. |

| Yes Primo,
Thank you for allowing us to participate in honoring your cousin, Lt Col William Gregory Hall, and his family and friends. This was my third, and by far, largest mission that I participated in. It was quite a moving experience to see all the riders that turned out to honor the family and also to see the presentations by all. It is an honor to ride with this great organization.

It was an incredible day. We kept seeing motorcycle after motorcycle arrive along with the Phun Time cruisers. People kept coming to be there for you and your family.
This mission was personal for many of us. You're family is part of our PGR family. Your cousin is a brave woman. It looks like she has wonderful support.
We were honored to be there for you and your family.
Here are the pictures that we took.
