Austin area members:
I don't have a staging time yet as we're awaiting final itinerary to decide a KSU time. I'm figuring the best staging point will be the McDonalds on I-35 @ Old Settlers (FM 3406) at exit 254 in North Round Rock. This will give everyone a chance to get a bite and hydrate before we leave and it puts us far enough north of Austin to avoid trying to shoot out into traffic going north. We'll most likely make a fuel/rest stop at the Czech Bakery in West around exit 351. This will put about 100 miles under the tires before first stop. Depending on location of the services, we might make another stop just south of Dallas to top off the tanks. Travel time from Round Rock to South Dallas area is 3 hours. With fuel/rest stops, plan on 4 hours on the road. BRING WATER, SUNSCREEN and FLAGS if you have them. All of this is speculative and subject to change depending on final itinerary but I wanted to give everyone in the Austin area an idea and what to plan for.
More details will be forthcoming as soon as I have more details. Watch the thread and your email for final itinerary.

Rest in Peace Chief Pratt. We appreciate your service to our country and mourn the loss of a good man. Our prayers go out to your family, friends and loved ones who will miss you most. I'm sorry that I cannot make the run from Houston to Dallas on Friday to show my appreciation in person.
It is truly a shame that one of the heros of our country should be taken from us by a so-called fellow American. I hope they catch the worthless bottom-feeding scum who did this so justice can be served.

I am going to make the mission to honor the Chief on Friday. If anyone is riding down from the Denton area, I would welcome the company. Do we know where we will be staging in Dallas?
To the family of CPO Pratt: my sincerest condolences on the loss of Kameron. It is such a senseless thing. I hope you find peace as soon as possible and trust in the Lord to see you through this terrible time.

CPO Pratt is on the prayer list. Sincere condolences to the family. May God forgive the perpetrator, but cast the wrath he deserves! I have a prior commitment to my church, but will put my flag on the bike in his memory. Cheifs are our navy's greatest asset! PGR, ride with God.

East Texas, we will be leaving Palestine at 6 am Friday morning from our favorite Shell station on Hwy. 19 north of town (by the college). We'll meet other riders at the Corsicana Shell station, northeast corner of Hwy. 287 at I-45 at 7, and head towards the staging area in South Dallas. See the maps in Double D's posting below.
Everyone ride safe, wear lots of sunblock, and bring ice water and gatorade-type drinks to prevent dehydration. Watch out for critters and sleepy cage-drivers early Friday morning. See you in Dallas.

Central Texas (Austin):
Itinerary for Central Texas (Austin) Patriot Guard to honor CPO Kameron Pratt of Dallas Texas, Friday June 16th. This Fallen Hero was home on leave when he was killed in a carjacking in South Dallas.
Rally point in Dallas is from 0800 - 0845. The ride from Round Rock to Dallas will take at least 3 hours of drive time plus at least one fuel/rest stop on the way up.
Rally point for Austin area will be the McDonald's on the northeast corner of I-35 and Old Settlers (FM 3406) at exit 254. Tad (BexarWolf) Eubank will be the Ride Captain for this portion of the Mission with assistance from MuddyDuck. Please arrive no later than 0345 for a safety briefing and release signing. We'll be KSU at 0400 sharp.
Please bring water, sunscreen/sunblock and flags if you have them. The return trip will have to be a self-guided tour unless MuddyDuck wants to lead you back. After the services, I will be continuing north to spend the rest of the weekend with family. Please reply to this email if you plan on attending by forwarding it to pgrbexarwolf@yahoo.com so I can get a headcount.
Thank you for all you've done in the past few weeks. As Bear says, "though we gather for the worst of reasons, we ride for the best of causes". |

West Texas has the heads up...
I want to be there so badly for this mission! I feel sick everytime we get another mission, but this one just makes me disgusted.
I feel better knowing that the Patriot Guard will be there to do what is right.
Everyone one of you guys who will attend this mission...Thank you.

I've been given clearance by the bosslady to take the time off from work in order to attend the services of Petty Officer 2nd Class Pratt.
Thank you to P.O. Pratt for your service to this country and thank you to the Pratt family for allowing the PGR to stand and honor your family and loved one during this difficult time. |
