MISSION UPDATE - As of 7/14/07 @ 09:00 am
ESCORT MISSION
Arrival is Sunday July 15th at 09:07 am. There are two opportunities to join the escort. The first is at the Armory in Augusta, the second is on Route 201 before you get to Skowhegan (for those traveling from the northern region so you don't have to come all the way to Augusta...see details below).
Augusta - Armory (located on Rte 202 in Augusta near the airport)
Staging: 08:30
Depart: Approx. 09:30 (could be sooner/later depending on landing time)
Skowhegan - Rte 201 Truck Rest Stop (located on right side headed north just past junction with Rte 23 and just over the railroad tracks)
Staging: 09:30 Depart: Estimated at 10:00.
For those staging at the truck stop you will need to appoint a leader to take charge. The escort will not stop to let you in, however, I will ask the State Police to slow down near the truck stop area. When you see us coming be prepared to merge in behind the last motorcycle and in front of the cage vehicle (I will brief the riders in Augusta that we will be doing a rolling merge at that rendezvous point and they will create a space for you.)
Rain is forecasted so gear up accordingly. Bring your vehicle and bike flags.
For the folks departing from Augusta it's a long ride...about 65 miles and it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. It will be non-stop so fill your tanks prior to departure. Rest room facilities will be available near or at the Armory. Thanks for your support.
FUNERAL SERVICE
The service will be held on Tuesday, July 17th at 10:00 am at the Quimby Middle School on Route 201 in Bingham.
There will be 3 Staging points to pick up members along the way...here is the info:
Augusta / Civic Center / staging at 07:00 am depart: 07:15
Waterville / Marden's Parking Lot near I-95 exit / stage at 07:15 depart: approx 07:30
Skowhegan / Route 201 Truck Stop (same location as escort mission, see above for directions) /
staging at 07:50 depart: approx. 0805

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Pfc. Jason E. Dore. 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, Jason.
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. |

Rest your head
Oh weary son
Your watch on earth
Now is done
In a land far away
you went to war
To keep the evil
From our shore
Staying on course
Always standing tall
Protecting our land
You gave your all
Blessed are those
That battle for right
For GOD has said
You are HEROS in HIS sight
Your honor and pride
Stood tall all the way
And now you have come
To the end of your day
Your watch is over
PGR will take it from here
With all the respect
We stand for so dear
You will ride in our hearts
Down the FLAG filled road
Thank you, BRAVE WARRIOR
You carried our load
Protecting us all
By both day and night
Never once flinching
In the heat of the fight
As we ride for you now
Our hearts filled with sorrow
Never to forget you
For all of the tomorrows
When the bugle plays TAPS
And the rifles will sound
Our eyes will be full
Our tears on the ground
You will be missed
By ones never met
You are our HERO
We will never forget
GOD BLESS OUR MIGHTY AND VIGILANT MILITARY. SECOND TO NONE. BECAUSE OF THEM WE ARE STILL FREE.
