THE PATRIOT GUARD’S PRESENCE HAS BEEN REQUESTED
As PGR members, we have been asked to assemble a flag line at the Springfield/Branson Airport Tuesday morning, November 17th at 5:45am. We will be standing side by side with other members of various local Veterans Service Organizations in two adjacent lines from the bus unloading area located in a private parking area on the East side of the Airport on in through the Airport up to the Security Check Point, thus giving the proper send off these Men and Women Heroes richly deserve. In addition, we will have Big Flag Bikes escorting the Buses from the local hotel to the receiving area at the Airport. If you will be able to attend with big flags on please contact Mick Dunn for staging information.
Upon their return that evening, we will welcome them home once again with the biggest reception these Heroes and Springfield has ever seen with another flag line @ 10:00pm. This being the inaugural flight, there will be an enormous amount of local media coverage.
Please plan to attend if you can and spread the word. I will be updating as final arrangements are made. If there are questions, feel free to contact me at:
(417) 844-9771 (cell—leave message) or e-Mail at mick@glmooretire.com
