If work allows, I will be leaving the Des Moines area around 0830 and would welcome anyone wanting to ride with me. This is my first mission so I would welcome any information as to where and when to meet in Alden. |

It doesn't matter what you ride, it's how you do it. Live and ride with honor. |

To all Minnesota PGR members.
PLEASE NOT THE CHANGE IN TIMES FROM MY EARLIER POSTING:
THE IOWA PGR HAS PUBLISHED THEIR MISSION START TIME AND LOCATION:
5:00AM...Meet at the Rochester Wall Mart South Parking Lot. Wal Mart is on Hwy 63 South.
5:15AM...Leave the Wall Mart parking lot.
6:30Am...Arrive at the TA Travel Center on I35 in Albert Lea. Pick up additional members.
6:45AM...Leave the TA Travel Center.
8:30AM...Arrive in Alden, IA. at Hoelscher Ag. on Hwy 20.
Any and all PGR members are welcome to join with us.
We will take breaks every 50 miles or so.
The funeral is scheduled for 10:30AM.
The U.G.'s are expected to be in attendance.
Be sure to bring a 3'x5' flag if you have one.
All riders will need to sign a Patriot Guard Riders Release of Liability.
Like I said, we don't have any mission details from Iowa yet, so please be understanding and patient. Continue to monitor this forum for additional details.

We are waiting to heard from Keith to confirm times and places.
We originally set the time to meet in Iowa falls at 10:00am at the Public Library now it sounds like 9:00am is a better time do to the number of riders coming in and being ready and organized at the church.
If there is a large number of riders coming to ride out of Iowa Falls we may need to change the meeting place as well. Could we get a count of who may be meeting in Iowa Falls on the way to the funeral? |

I spoke with Kieth and he has not heard back on what a good meeting point would be. He said he would post as soon as he knows something more. I am coming from near Osage IA. My number is (641)420-0238 if anyone wants to ride down. I will be meeting the group at the library at 9:00.
Later,
