<p class=MsoNormal>The North Texas Patriot Guard Riders has been asked to
escort the very first Vietnam Wall ever created into Pilot Point, Texas on May
7, 2009. Following is an excerpt from an e-mail I received from the
organizers.<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“As I mentioned, on the phone, here is the link to <b><i>The
Moving Wall</i></b>'s web site, where the specifications for "Escort"
may be obtained. I ask that you review and, if you wish, refer your Riders to
this link:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><a

<p class=MsoNormal>which states, in principal part: <o:p></o:p></p>
<h3 style='margin-left:.5in'><a name=escorts></a>Escorts<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
12.0pt;margin-left:.5in'>Escorts are optional. For safety reasons escorts over
6 bikes are limited to less than thirty miles and <u>only six bikes will travel
in front of</u> <b><i>The Moving Wall</i></b>, <u>all others will follow</u>.
The sponsor should appoint one person to be in charge of the escort that can
establish a rally point, coordinate with law enforcement, determine the route
and departure/arrival time, contact the driver to see what time he can make the
rally point, etc. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Additionally, if the Escort Route
will pass along or across any highways or highway intersections, as is the case
for this Escort, a minimum of one [1] Police vehicle must lead the Escort, with
other traffic control vehicles and/or personnel provided to assure traffic
safety, according to the existing circumstances along the route. We will <u>all</u>
defer to the discretion of PPPD Chief, James Edland and/or his designee[s], in
the event of any unanticipated contingencies. We invite the participation of
the Pilot Point Fire Department, if they are not "On Call" at the
time and are otherwise able to participate. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'>The Escort will terminate at
the Pilot Point Town Square, being the adjacent to [the East side of] the 100
block of Washington Street, between West Main and West Liberty Streets. At
termination, ONLY <b><i>The Moving Wall</i></b>'s vehicle will enter the
interior of the Town Square, which is the Display Site. Escort vehicles should NOT
enter the Town Square but, rather, remain on Washington or other street[s] as
directed by Pilot Point Police Department (PPPD) personnel -- by following the
Police vehicle[s] to the designated Terminus Parking Area[s].”<o:p></o:p></p>

procedure and any other big flag bikes in the lead behind the vehicle with
other bikes and then cages following them. Cages decorated in a patriotic

citizens who will be witnessing the arrival. The organizers have provided
