Renne Posted September 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2009 I posted this on another thread earlier but with so many PGR members on site I thought I would re-post. Saturday, Sept. 19th the Mn PGR set a record for the longest flag line to date. U.S. Army Reserve Camp Ripley located near Brainerd Mn held it's annual open house, set aside it's helmet/safety gear reg. for the day. PGR riders began to arrive. A steady stream passed thru the gate as one by one, some in groups began to assemble. All in all, 1344 riders stood tall, flags waving, to honor our men and women in uniform. Beautiful! (Any takers?)

silverdeer0454 Posted September 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2009 Any pictures/video posted that you know of? As a PGR member it would be great to see that type of turnout. silverdeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renne Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted September 21, 2009 Have not seen anything as of yet. I'm sure it'll show up on Google....local news coverage was ok. Renne PGR USAF Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdeer0454 Posted September 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2009 Best we could do was "The Wall" escort and news coverage was non-existant. A local person posted what he had on you tube. He was told where to be at what time...we were 15 minutes ahead of schedule because of the 80 + mph we were traveling at. There were about 500 bikes, he was only able to catch the last pack.

Easy to spot. silverdeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomerCPO Posted September 21, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 21, 2009 Way to go Minnesota!!! If we could only get that many Riders to show up for a Mission I think the Lieburral Press would surely have to provide coverage and print the TRUTH about who we (PGR) are and why we do what we do Nationwide. Boomer......who will stand with the Patriot Guard until the Patriot Guard stands for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how the media will cover 5 protestors outside Ft Lewis but never provide coverage of PGR, Brothers In Arms, American Legion Riders, and Combat Vets, showing up in large numbers as volunteers for the passing of an American hero, a send off to those going into harms way, or for those returning to the arms of their loved ones. silverdeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
