Once again I was on the road when I saw another PGR Escort. I passed you by last night as I was heading home at about the 44 mile marker on I-55. (I was heading south) I told all the truckers on the CB what you (we) were and our mission and wound up hopefully spreading the word more about the PGR. They were as usual proud to know what we do and they really couldn't believe that a group of riders would ride from ST Louis to Peoria in that kind of weather to escort a fallen (to some a brother in arms) military member! Of course I was proud of you guys on the mission.

The Funeral for S.P.C. George Obourn is Being held at Deiters FH at 444 E Washington in E Peoria.
Staging area is across the street at Remmerts funeral home. I believe at 9:00am
Sorry for any confusion he has been in both of their FH's (due to 2 missions happening at the same area just a day apart.) and is now at East Peoria.
Thanks Deb (ladyrider) |
