I normally don’t check the Central Missouri missions. I did ask last time that a Honor Flight was posted and I’ll ask again for clarifications. There was no response when I asked these same questions.

How can the PGR riders from the St. Louis Metro area participate ? Flag line?

Being posted as a Central Missouri mission doesn't pop out for Eastern Missouri.

Staging for the riders by the Ride Captains in/near St. Louis?

I will try to answer your questions.

#1 The St Louis PGR have been standing a flag line on all of these flights. The info for that end was posted by Fueler in the Missouri threads area.

#2 There is no eastern, central or western missions in the PGR. All Missions are open to all members that wish to give alittle time and alot of respect to these ole war horses.

#3 As stated in the first answer. I believe that Bill Hunt has been having a flag line at all of these flights. Please check the Missouri threads for this info.

Hope this answered your questions.

I guess I'll post on this page. There seems to be some confusion on what we will do for the Honor Flight.

1st The flights get there name from the area that they are in. We do not make that decision.

2nd. If anyone wants to meet this flight when they come home, hear is the info.

Arrival at app. 8:50 at the East Terminal.Southwest Flight # 1836.
You can park in the parking lot, there is a charge for this. You will need to bring your flag if you have one.

Hey Armmed Citizen...I tell all new members (if you didn't get my Welcome email when you joined, drop me a line and
I'll send it to you)....that, As a PGR Member...you can ride ANYWHERE, ANYTIME...as FAR as you want as OFTEN as you want. We have no boundries....we are Nation wide. There is no groups, no chapters, no units...we are one voice, all doing the same thing....showing our respect and our Honor to ALL American Heros.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell...and you do have to follow both the Mission notices on the home page AND the subjects on the Missouri thread...

If you still have problems...just give me a call or drop me an email...

car_doc NE Mo SR R/C, fueler Senior Ride Captian St. Louis, Mo. & Hollie NE Mo. RC = check the PGR email address later this afternoon.-

The two Honor Flights that I attended (neither originated in St. Louis) was posted by Ladyhawk with fueler giving the staging information. As I read the posted information above - there will be no flag line nor staging to welcome the bus from Columbia. Thank y’all for the courtesies. Fueler has my phone number to clarify anything else.

By the signature lines it shows that we are indeed sub-divided into areas of responsibility.

I believe that your questions were answered.

As for the signature line. you are somewhat right. The leadership team has there areas of responsibility,but Hollie and I have R/Ced missions in Jefferson City, Columbia and ST Joseph. We also have helped with missions in Kansas City, Cameron and Galesburg Ill. So as you can see, there are no boundries. We go and show our respect when and where we can.

Hope to meet you on a Flag Line someday
