Special Information:
UPDATED
Due to the weather prediction of over 80 percent rain, the organizers have moved the Patriot Guard Riders to an inside position, out of the rain, to stand a flag line for the Send Off celebration. Members will stage at 1:30 pm and stand as guests arrive for the 2:00pm sendoff celebration. Please come and join us with a clean US Flag and dress for the weather as it is forecast to be in the 50's with showers threatening.
The program will start at 2:30 pm and our mission will be complete. You are invited to stay for the remainder of the program if you so choose. Thank you for joining me for this short sendoff mission to honor our Greatest Generation.
