PGR_NTX Patriot Guard Corrected Version - Final Itinerary, Captain John William "Bill" Sellers

[Mission Information For North Texas PGR]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Below is a corrected version of the Final Itinerary posted earlier for the
mission for Captain Sellers on Tuesday, February 3, 2009.  An error was made
in the weather forecast and in that Captain Sellers did not serve in World
War II.  This error was mine and not made by the Ride Captains.  I apologize
for any confusion.

This mission will consist of only an interment service for Mr. Sellers.  Big
flag bikes please assemble at the visitor center to escort the attendees to
the shelter.  Everyone else please come to the parking area below shelter
(TBA) for staging and briefing.  We will use flags stored at the shelter and
set up as soon as possible following the service prior to Mr. Sellers'.

 

 

Weather:  Forecast is for sunny with a high of 60 degrees.

  

Please remember that our mission is to stand tall, silent, and with honor
and respect for this American patriot and his family.  

 

Iron Horses if you can; cages are always welcome and appreciated.  Due to
the limited duration of the mission and the fact that we already have flags
at the cemetery the support truck will not be requested.  Please make
arrangements to have your own water and/or sports drink(s) available.  It
could get quite warm in the flag line so please be prepared.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

 

Dewey "Diehard" Dyer

Mike "Gunner" Lambert
