MISSION COMPLETE:

PART (1) of this mission was on Saturday, Nov. 7th with about 30 PGR members present and another 150 riders from the Jonesboro area including the HOG chapter. PGR members lead the parade to honor the 875th Eng. Battalion before their second deployment to the "Sand-Box". Weather was fantastic and the whole comminity came out to show their support.

PART (2) of this mission was to escort the 875th from Jonesboro to the airport in Memphis, TN. 6 PGR members attanded this send-off mission with good weather and I really want to thank Brian Cummings, PGR member from Jonesboro for taking on the task of being ride captain for this mission. JOB WELL DONE!
Also great job by the Memphis PD for their help from the state line to the airport.
The Patriot Guard Riders were honored to support the 875th today and will be standing by to welcome ALL of them home.
