I just spoke with Maj. Dowling from the 316th and want to pass along the TOTAL EXCITEMENT that he has knowing that the PGR will be involved in this welcome home. I will be meeting with Maj.Dowling in the very near future to finalize the times,staging, and other details. I know this is going to be a pleasant and happy mission for us and very emotional for the returning troops and their famlies. This mission will be a great change from what we normally do, so please set aside 1 JUL 08 to extend a warm and heart felt thanks to our returning HEROS and their famlies.
Please monitor this thread for final times,etc.

Anyone wishing to meet up somewhere along the way, give me a call or drop an e-mail to wvugo@rcvideo.com and we'll make arrangements.
Respects,

Mission Complete: I would like to thank,The American Legion
Riders from Monroville, Pa.,The MAC Riders from the Murrysville
Alliance Church,and all the Patriot Guard Riders who made this mission
a great success.
It was so very emotional to see the returning troops
re-united with their famlies.With all the joy and happiness that we
experienced here today, lets not forget that we still have many men and
women in harms way in our military and lets keep them in our hearts and
pray that they too, will get to experience this joy of returning home
safely to their famlies.
I THANK ALL who helped me with this
mission...God Bless
