***************************************** 
We are riding in support of our Oklahoma PGR  brothers and sisters who are 
coming to DFW airport on a mission to escort home  United States Marine Staff 
Sergeant Jamey D. Finch who, after 2 tours of duty in  Iraq, had been assigned 
as the NCOIC of the USMC recruiting station at 29 Palms,  California.  He was 
killed in a  traffic accident when a vehicle pulled out in front of him while 
he was on his  motorcycle. 
Any PGR members who wish to ride in this  escort from DFW airport to the 
Oklahoma state line (via I-35) are welcome and  encouraged to come along to honor 
this hero and assist our friends from OK.  We are hoping to have a law 
enforcement  escort at least to the interstate from the airport but those details 
have not  been finalized at the time of this report.  Highway speeds will be 
observed on the interstate.  Big flag bikes – if you have any  concerns about this 
please don’t hesitate to furl the flags before we  leave. 
 


Weather:  There is a slight chance of an isolated  thunderstorm as we get 
north toward the Red  River with a high temperature predicted of 99 degrees.  
There will be no flag/water truck requested by  us for this mission.  Please 
hydrate  early and make sure you have plenty of water/Gatorade on hand.  It is my 
understanding that a support  vehicle is coming with the Oklahoma contingent 
but let’s be good hosts  and not drink/eat the supplies they are counting on 
for their long  trip. 
Iron Horses if you can, cages are always  welcome and appreciated.   
 
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall,  silent, and with honor 
and respect for this Marine and his family. 
Respectfully  submitted, 
Steve “Badger”  Lucas 
North Texas  Ride Captain
