This is a Confirmed Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) Mission
==============================================

Back on 23 August, 2007 we posted mission threads for 14 Heroes who died in a helicopter crash in Multaka, Iraq on 22 August, 2007. In the ensuing weeks PGR stood in honor for services to many, if not all, of the 14 Heroes.

Now, we are being asked to stand again for those same Heroes at a Group burial as they are laid to their final Heroes' rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 24 October, 2008 at approximately 1100 hours.

Detailed planning is underway and a final mission plan will be posted here as they are completed.

Please offer you condolences to the Group of Heroes - those who gave their all that we may be free.

Please stand ready to ride this mission for those who gave so much for US!
