Updated on 19 Feb 07 at 1505 MST by ChargerITINERARY UPDATE Staging for this mission will be in the parking lot of the KING CITY RESTAURANT which is adjacent to the KING CITY TRUCK STOP 2125 E. Hillsboro St. Pasco, WA. This location is just off HWY 395, slightly north of the interchange with I-182. A mapquest link showing the location follows. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=internal&addtohistory=&latitude=H8Tl%2bDejXXJ1ndq%2btUI%2bqQ%3d%3d&longitude=8TJ3w%2bv%2fnouGi2%2bHsb9eEA%3d%3d&name=King%20City%20Truck%20Stop&country=US&address=2125%20E%20Hillsboro%20St&city=Pasco&state=WA&zipcode=99301&phone=509%2d545%2d4041&spurl=0&&q=KING%20CITY%20TRUCK%20STOP&qc=Hotels%20%26%20MotelsFrom either direction on 395 the exit is KARTCHNER STREET This location has multiple choices for food and gas and leaves us about a 6 mile trip to the service location, but we have about 4 right hand turns from the start to the finish, no intersections to worry about, just a couple of onramps to watch for merging traffic. STAGING AND SIGNIN: 9:30 am to 11:00 am RIDE BRIEF: 11:00 KICK STANDS UP: 11:30 I would encourage any groups coming from out of the area (ie.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SGT Travis Pfister. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Travis.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through. |

I am in contact with the CAO for Sgt. Pfisters family, awaiting confirmation of date, time, and the details of the request for PGR participation. (The initial information is believed to be accurate, we just want to confirm it through the official channel.)
I will update the mission when I receive this information, and begin planning for our mission at that time.
It may be a couple of days as they are busy with the Ca. service over the next few days.

| God be with you, Sgt Pfister, and with your family. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. I, too, lost a son in Iraq. I understand what you, the family, are dealing with. Travis will be remembered always, as a courageous and selfless American hero, by our grateful and deeply indebted nation. The prayers and thoughts of so many are with you. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

I start to write this and realize that it's so easy to just block my feelings and not acknowledge how special he must have been and why I am writing this. With it being this hard for me I know I can't fathom the pain you must be feeling. No words can take that away. I guess what I feel would help, at least some, is the knowledge that people do care and that my loved one would not be forgotten. The sacrifice all of you have given to protect our homeland and freedoms is appreciated and will not be taken for granted. My heart goes out to you.

ITINERARY UPDATE
Staging for this mission will be in the parking lot of the KING CITY RESTAURANT which is adjacent to the KING CITY TRUCK STOP 2125 E. Hillsboro St. Pasco, WA.
This location is just off HWY 395, slightly north of the interchange with I-182. A mapquest link showing the location follows.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=internal&addtohistory=&latitude=H8Tl%2bDejXXJ1ndq%2btUI%2bqQ%3d%3d&longitude=8TJ3w%2bv%2fnouGi2%2bHsb9eEA%3d%3d&name=King%20City%20Truck%20Stop&country=US&address=2125%20E%20Hillsboro%20St&city=Pasco&state=WA&zipcode=99301&phone=509%2d545%2d4041&spurl=0&&q=KING%20CITY%20TRUCK%20STOP&qc=Hotels%20%26%20Motels
From either direction on 395 the exit is KARTCHNER STREET
This location has multiple choices for food and gas and leaves us about a 6 mile trip to the service location, but we have about 4 right hand turns from the start to the finish, no intersections to worry about, just a couple of onramps to watch for merging traffic.
STAGING AND SIGNIN: 9:30 am to 11:00 am
RIDE BRIEF: 11:00
KICK STANDS UP: 11:30
I would encourage any groups coming from out of the area (ie. Yakima, Spokane, Walla Walla or points in Oregon), or anyone willing to lead a group from those areas to post their various ride plans for that day in this thread, so that other may meet up and ride along, or join those groupls en route.
Questions or confirmation that you are attending please email jeffmcpa@patriotguard.org

It is very likely that we will have a large group riding (or driving) out of Spokane to attend this important Mission. As the Ride Captain for Spokane, please contact me and let me know if you plan to travel through Spokane on the morning of March 4. I will coordinate so we can all travel together, lights on, flags flying.
