SUMMARY:William Troy Withers\, USAAF
DESCRIPTION:Patriots\, \nWe have been requested by the family of yet another of the “Greatest Generation” to stand for their Hero. \nWilliam Troy Withers proudly served his country during WWII in the US Army Air Corps\, 860th Air Engineering Squadron\, 434 Air Service Group. Mr. Withers served as a Mortar Crewman (607) which means his duties included set up\, aiming\, and firing of the 60 mm mortars. Mr. Withers was part of the first wave of soldiers on Omaha Beach during the D-Day invasion. He also served in the Northern France and Rhineland Campaigns. On November 19th\, 1944 Mr. Withers was wounded in Germany and received the Purple Heart. In addition to the Purple Heart\, Mr. Withers also earned the European-African-MiddleEastern Service Ribbon with (3) Bronze Stars\, the American Theater and Victory Service Ribbons\, (2) Overseas Bars\, and the Good Conduct Medal. \nPlease join us in honoring and standing for this True American Hero\, as he so proudly stood for us! \nObituary: http://www.gaskinservices.com/book-of-memories/2529283/Withers-Troy/obituary.php \nMission Details\nDate: Saturday\, June 11th 2016 \nStaging: 12:30 PM \nBriefing: 12:45 PM \nLocation:\nFellowship Baptist Church\n11416 Albemarle Rd.\nMint Hill\, NC 28227\nMap to Location: http://mapq.st/1UAGV0a \nAfter the briefing we will stand a flag line for arrival of family and friends during visitation from 1:00 to 2:00 PM.

At the cemetery we will establish a flag line for a ceremony with full military honors. \nNOTE: You must be present for the briefing to participate in the escort. Safety is our primary concern. \nFor those wishing to proceed directly to the cemetery\, details are as follow… \nLocation:\nSharon Memorial Park\n5400 Monroe Road\nCharlotte\, NC 28212\nMap to Location: http://mapq.st/1UAIQlx \nI am honored to be your RC for this mission. \nThanks to all of you for your continued support of our Heroes and their families. \nRick Shinn\nDC\n(704) 791-6259 \n**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 it’s 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.
