<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff><SPAN class=341263722-29092008>We
found out late this afternoon that the soldiers from the 2-149 who perished in
the helicopter crash in Iraq are coming in TOMORROW - Tuesday, September
30, 2008. They are coming in to 3 different airports at 3 different times
and going to 3 separate locations. We are currently looking for riders to
meet the planes at the airports and escort these heroes to the funeral
homes. Even if we only have a few riders at each location for these
escorts we will be fulfilling our mission by showing our respect and honoring
these men and their families. Ride Captains have been assigned and will be
present. We have only been able to contact 2 of the families via the Army
and both have given permission for our participation. We are anticipating
contact and permission from the third soon.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff><SPAN class=341263722-29092008>All
of these soldiers were National Guard soldiers based out of the old Naval Air
Station in Grand Prairie and, if you recall, we were present at their send off
and escorted them to almost the Oklahoma border, where the Oklahoma PGR took
them on to Ft. Sill.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
