<p class=MsoNormal>The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to participate in
the dedication<br>
ceremony for the newest VA Cemetery in Abilene, TX. There will be<br>
dignitaries from the Veterans Administration and other entities there.<br>
Congressman Randy Neugebauer will be the guest speaker along with Dismissal<br>
by Paul and Julianne Ruska a local WWII POW. Crowd is expected to be<br>
anywhere between 500 and 800 people for the dedication.<br>
<br>
<br>
Tentative Plans<br>
Staging: Exxon/Al Sups on FM 600 (West Lake Rd.) and I20 in Abilene, TX<br>
across from Denny's.<br>
Staging Time: 0915<br>
KSU: 0935<br>
<br>
We will ride from the Exxon to the cemetery in group formation as we would<br>
for a procession. I timed it with no traffic at 55 mph, it should take<br>
approx 5 min to the entrance of the cemetery. APD or cemetery
personnel<br>
will stop traffic at gate. Once we arrive at the cemetery, we need to<br>
dismount and set the flag line for the dedication. Large flags definitely<br>
wanted.<br>
