Patriot Guard Riders

Patriots,

We have been invited by the Dean family, to stand in honor of USAF Veteran Leslie Wayne Dean, who died after a long battle this past Wednesday. Mr. Dean was a member of the Red Springs Masonic Lodge and always served as a coach for his sons’ Dixie Youth Baseball Leagues.

A Memorial Service will be held at Crumpler Funeral Home in Red Springs. We will stand a flag line prior to the service, and stand down once the service begins. We will render Honors as Mr. dean is transferred to the hearse and prepare to escort to the cemetery, where we will form another flag line. The Honor Guard has not yet been confirmed, and Mr. Dean’s son has asked if we would be prepared to stand in for them just in case, we have assured him that we would.

Please join us, if you can to stand for this Hero, as he once stood for us.

SAT 21 MAY 16, Main Post Chapel, Crumpler Funeral Home, 220 E. 4th Avenue, Red Springs NC
Staging: 1:15 PM
Briefing: 1:20 PM

Establish Flag line: 1:30 PM

SPECIAL NOTE: Safety is of our utmost priority. Every effort possible is made in planning and executing the PGR Mission statement in a manner that minimizes the inherit dangers of riding a motorcycle, including riding in groups of all sizes and any situation. While the NCPG and its riders have a remarkable safety record in the execution of our missions, infrequently members have been injured in unforeseen accidents. In an effort to mitigate the risk of preventable accidents, all attendees who wish to ride in a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort or ride are asked to attend the pre-mission briefing. It will include a safety briefing, and any unique ride information known to our RCIC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well-being is always a principal ongoing concern, our RCIC’s are asked to stand-down from any mission that cannot be accomplished in relative safety or unreasonable risk. This includes both rides and flag lines in inclement weather and conditions. It remains each individual PGR member’s responsibility to ride within their own comfort zone and be cognizant of their surroundings and skill limitations as well as any physical needs or limitations. If the ride and/or mission conditions present challenges beyond your skill, comfort, or needs you are expected to exercise good judgment in foregoing any planned participation.
