This is the final itinerary for the Patriot Guard Mission to honor Gunnery Sergeant John D. Fry, who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq. The mission is a 'go' and all contacts have been made.
Services: Thursday , March 23rd, 2006 at 1300 hrs. at the Fellowship Bible Church, 5200 Speegleville Road, Woodway, TX. Internment, with full military honors, will follow at Rosemound Cemetery, 3201 S. 12th St., Waco, TX.
Ride Captains: Rollie Winfrey (Big R) and Doug Smith (Streaker). Their cell numbers are 903-388-0004 (Big R) and 903-724-1528 (Streaker).
Weather Report: Sunny with a morning low of 46 and a daytime high of 74 degrees. However, this is Texas and the weather is subject to change. Dress accordingly with leathers for your own protection, and come prepared for anything and everything. Bring flag poles and flags if you have them. Flags mounted on bikes would be great, but if you have to "cage" it, bring your big flags anyway, plus any extras that you may have. The order of the day is to provide a "sea of red, white, and blue".
Staging Site and Time: From 1100 to 1200 hrs. at the parking lot of the Macgregor Municipal Airport, U.S. Highway 84 west of Waco.
From Dallas/Ft. Worth and all points north, and from Austin/San Antonio and all points south, approach Waco on I-35, exiting at Hwy. 6/Loop 340 (Exit 330) south of Waco. Go 2.7 miles and then exit on Hwy. 84 to Macgregor (west). After 7.5 miles there will be a Shell Station just before the entrance to the Macgregor Municipal Airport, both on the right. That is your staging area.
Departure : All paperwork for releases, flag application and safety meeting will be completed by 1215 hrs. Departure for the Friendship Bible Church will commence at 1220 sharp. All bikes will present a uniform appearance with flags flying as we ride approx. 2 miles to the church in a staggered formation. Anyone not able to stage at the Shell Station/Airport should meet at the church.
Please note: We will be riding about 16 miles to the cemetery east of Waco after the service. Our position in the procession will be decided later by the Fry family.
Please remember that our mission is to honor this fallen Marine and pay our respects to his family. Stand tall and proud in the best traditions of the Patriot Guard as we salute this American hero.
Ride safe and may God bless,

Master Chief
About 80% sure of a go on this one.
Want to meet at the Valero I35 and 3009 like we did for Staff Sgt. McElroy's mission?
BexarWolf,
Are you and Master Chief planning on a link up of SA and Austin riders for the ride up? |

Dallas area riders,we will probably kick stand up at 9:30 at the Whataburger in Red Oak . I will verify this with Wingman tomorrow. Mid Cities may choose the Western I-35E route posted earlier in this thread. we will all meet up in Hillsboro for the final ride into Waco. Watch for the Dallas and Ft Worth staging info possibly tomorrow. We have over a week to go, but will update ASAP.

| jdawg: I also have a buddy that wants to ride, as far as I know he also is not a member. As long as they sign the waiver (saying they won't sue PGR if they crash going to/from/during a ride), they will have no problem as long as they ride with respect and the PGR Rules of Engagement. Might even lead them up to joining! Good luck! |

According to Google, Fellowship Bible Church is in McGregor, TX not Woodway. Anyone trying to find it in Woodway might have a problem. The link below shows the location of Fellowship Bible Church and the shortest route to the Cementery. It may not be the route the Funeral will use.

The church has a Waco mailing address, and one map locator calls the physical address "Woodway", while another calls it "Macgregor". That's why the route is spelled out in the posted itinerary and has already been reconned. Just follow the directions given and you'll be fine.
The staging area on hwy. 84 is about 1.5 miles past the stoplight at Speegleville Road on the right. Don't worry about finding the church, if you're on time. We'll be down the road at the Airport and the Shell station.
