Final Mission Report Court of Valor 14 Nov 09 York Pa The PGR was invited to the Court of Valor Memorial Dedication to be held at the Prospect Hill Cemetery. The day was damp and misty with temperatures in the mid 50's. Thirty One (31) PGR members attended and stood the flag line that was the backdrop for this event. The memorial is made of black granite and topped with a steel and concrete beam retrieve from the Word Trade Center Towers in New York. One Hundred sixty Five names have been engraved in the initial engraving. The service had several distinguished speakers including U.S. Congressman Joe Setak, 7th Dist. Pa., Retired Vice Admiral US NAVY. And Colonel Andrew Urbansky PANG. I would like to express my sincere thanks for the dedication of Mr Jack Sommers, Dennis, Steli and all of the employees at PHC for the services they provide to all Veterans of our Armed Forces. My heart goes out to the Gold Star Mothers across these United States and especially to the Gold Star Mothers and families of York County. You will always be in my thoughts. Steve Vassar Sr Ride Captain Pa Region 8 Patriot Guard Riders
