Welcome to the PGR: always here for them, As stated above just read the post and watch the list..When a mission comes up in your area and you can attend, get an American Flag on a pole and show up...Just be prepared to be over whelmed with emotion..It takes a strong person to stand on the line and not shed a tear...Again welcome.

I'm standing by for the Provisio funeral in Minnesota which may also be on June 1st - but would be honored to attend both if on different days. The noon funeral time helps with the additional distance - I try to stay within 200 miles, but it's basically interstate all the way from the Twin Cities. Waiting for details on the actual meeting time and staging place.
And to respond to Joe Smith's post above - I've never yet been able to stand on the line without shedding a few tears. So, to the "always there for them" wife who just signed on and her husband is in Iraq - yes, it can be emotional, but from one woman to another, I understand your deep desire to show support, and if the tears come, so be it.

I'm not a biker, but some buddies and I want to be in Fargo on friday.
Is there a counter-protest FAQ or anything like that that we should see? |

Counterprotest? What protest?
We attend to honor the hero, as well as show respect to the family. If people are looking for an "activist" activity, they are looking in the wrong place.
You should read the "Mission Statement".........We are not a counter-protest group!
Welcome aboard.
Non bikers can show respect just like bikers can. If you do not get the questions you have answered before Friday, feel free to attend anyway. I would recomend the first thing you do when you get to the rally point is seek out a member, extend you hand, introduce yourself as a new member and ask them what you want to know. People are most helpful to newcomers, and will be happy to share the info they have learned over the missions they have attended.
The last thing we want is for the family to be disrespected at the time they are trying to honor a loved one. Conduct yourselves in a manner that you would want others to conduct themselves if they were at a funeral your mother was attending. |

My sincere condolences to those who morn the passing of Spc. Hermanson.
I will be unable to ride to honor this hero, but my thoughts are with all those who can make the ride.
Those heroes who make the ultimate sacrifice do not pass on alone. They are carried from the fields of battle by the Valkyr who carry them to Valhall. Here they will live on with all those who have gone on before to await the final and ultimate battle, Ragnnarök. |

Hermanson funeral protestors
By Staff
May 30, 2006, 19:57
A fringe anti-gay church group from Kansas says its planning to protest at the funeral of a Fargo soldier killed in Iraq. A service for 21 year old National Guardsman Michael Hermanson will be at Boulger Funeral Home on Friday. Guard officials and Fargo police are making security preparations for the service. Guard officials say the group is known for trying to provoke physical confrontation with the mourners and that’s what they want to avoid. Hermanson was originally a member for Fargo’s 142nd before he volunteered to serve with the Minot-based 164th. Guard members from across the state are expected to be in attendance. |

I salute all current and past soldiers for what they have done. "THANK YOU" and to my dad Floyd Cox for being a great father and continuing to be a great father. |

I am neither a rider or military (college student actually) but I thank you people from the deepest part of my heart for the piece of mind you will provide the family of the late Spc. Hermanson from those monsters posing as Christians.
If I can get myself to Fargo in time for the funeral, I'd love to at least give my support and will in spirit if I can't make it. |

| I see several posts from people who don't ride, but expressing support for the cause. The real impact in a situation like this comes from sheer numbers. Anyone who can make the service, or even show up on the street/sidewalks adjacent to the church contributes greatly to the message we need to send to the family, friends, community, state and country. "We support our troops and came here to show our true appreciation for one young man who made the ultimate sacrifice for his love of country, and willingness to go the distance to protect our freedoms". There are plenty of forums where people can profess and debate their political views, whether we should or shouldn't be involved in this war. Michael sacrificed his life defending our priveledge to do so! This is a time and place to bestow the honor and dignity this man and his family deserve. And believe me, because I know first hand, the TrailBlazers of Co.A, 164th that remain in Balad, are paying keen attention to what happens and how much support is shown on Friday. Not only can each and every one who shows up support Mike's family and pay tribute to him, but also inspire those troops that remain in theater to continue their assigned missions with the determination and excellence they have displayed to date. Show up-with a Stars and Stripes, big or small, in your hand. Be very proud to be an American, regardless of whether you ride or not! With strong numbers we can make any uninvited guests completely inconspicuous, and a total non-factor! Each and every person that shows up on Friday, does matter and can contribute to making a huge positive difference! God Bless Mike's family and friends, the TrailBlazers of Co. A, 164th Engr Bn., and every single compassionate soul who attends this event! I can speak for these TrailBlazers, and say Thank-You! |
