******************************
The wife and family of LCDR Edward Herty U.S Navy, have graciously invited the PGR to Welcome Home their hero who has been deployed overseas.
I would like to make this Welcome Home Mission a D5 challenge, and invite the surrounding districts as well, to show a lot of Red, White and Blue for his Service to our Country. We have been extremely busy over the past few months and I believe I have been sensing the emotional stress being felt by our RC’s and membership. This welcome home mission would be a great opportunity to re-energize ourselves with a strong outpouring of support and fellowship. D5 has a little over 900 members, if you have never attended a mission, been awhile since you have attended a mission, or have been to every mission lately, please consider taking a little time out of your day to attend this one. (invite family or friends to introduce them to what we are about) As with all our missions, the support we show means a lot to our heroes and their families. Trust me, this will be a much needed feel good mission!
Thanking you all for your consideration and support!
This will be a flag line only. 20 Flags will be provided. Please bring your hand held 3 x 5 flags if you have them.

SPECIAL NOTE: Safety is of our utmost priority. Every effort possible 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 PGR 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 RC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well- being is always a principal ongoing concern. Our RC’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.
