While the PGR is being called upon for many special events on or around Veterans Day it should not surprise us, since honoring our nation’s veterans is a primary goal of our organization.  I hope that as many riders as possible will put these events on their calendar as we don’t often get to show our appreciation to the communities in this manor.
