<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>There has been some confusion regarding the status
of an information only posting that went out on the news list, briefly appeared
on the calendar, and then disappeared again. I take responsibility for this
confusion. The information is regarding the coming in of LCPL Justin
Rogers. His arrival, while noteworthy to be sure, is not being listed as
a regular mission. If you received the e-mail as a subscriber to the news
list, an explanation for this was provided in that message. All of the
text of that message was not, however, provided with the calendar message and I
apologize for that. With Harold’s invaluable assistance I am still
working on a quick and easy way for our riders to be able to tell when an event
is a mission and when one isn’t without having to weed through all of the
text. We hope to have that worked out very soon. Thank you for your
patience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>At any rate, below is the entire post from the
news list posting. I hope this clears up any confusion I may have caused.
I know that anyone who would like to welcome LCPL Rogers at the airport would
be most welcome and appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>Again, this is on me and I’ll get it figured
out, with Harold’s help, shortly.<o:p></o:p></p>

color:windowtext'>The information below is not an official PGR mission and
provided for your use to attend if you can and would like to.
Unfortunately, here in the Metroplex area, we are simply unable to honor all
the requests we receive for individual welcome homes. They could easily
run into the hundreds and more and we just don’t have the resources to
accommodate each one. Given that this is a wounded warrior and came to us
via Texas HOTH Coordinator Debbie Horton we are posting the information for the
riders to see. The details came from this Marine’s mom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:windowtext'>I would love for the Patriot Riders to come and be a part of
my son, LCPL Rodgers, homecoming. He is currently living in San Diego at
the Wounded Warrior Barracks at the Naval Medical Center. Justin was
injured in Afghanistan when a 10-15yr old child threw a fragmentation grenade
into his turret on top of the hummer. Despite his major injuries to his
left hand, arm, and face, his is recovering very well. We are very
appreciative of everything our military medical staff did to save the use of
his hand. Justin sustained six surgeries and continues physical and
occupational therapy. Justin will be traveling from San Diego to DFW
Airport on Saturday at 12:30pm. He will be arriving on American Airlines
Flight 1672. Justin was a Varsity quarterback at NW High School, an Eagle
Scout, and now a Purple Heart recipient. As you can tell we are very
proud of him. We are excited to just have him home, especially for the
holidays. I know that many other mothers may not be able to say that and
for them I pray for peace in their hearts. Our family knows how lucky we
are. We thank you for making this homecoming that much more special!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
