A warrior came home
From a war far away
In the heat of the battle
He yearned for that day
He served his country
With honor and pride
Never forgetting
The FLAG at his side
He stood the abuse
From the unknowing
His love for his country
Was always showing
Now he has left us
It is our turn to stand
Showing the respect
Owed by this land
Our FLAGS flying proudly
For him we assemble
From the rumble of our bikes
The ground will tremble
The Honor and Respect
For this warrior is now due
The PGR will be there
Standing for you
When it is over
And you are laid to rest
We will tell the world
You were one of the best
Thank you brave soldier
For all you have done
The PGR rides for you
An American son.
MAY OUR ALMIGHTY GOD SHED HIS GRACE AND GOODNESS ON ALL OF OUR VALIANT MIGHTY MILITARY. SECOND TO NONE.

Standing at the ready to honor our HEROS of today, yesterday and tomorrow. Any time, Any where because IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. MISSION FIRST.
LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST ONE. IT COULD VERY WELL BE.
IT IS FAR BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN TO LIVE ON YOUR KNEES.
