Sorry Keith, off topic.

I applied for membership in that group and when they were going to have the meeting at Sturgis I bought a flag and asked to have it shipped to my house. It never got to the house and when I asked about it they said they had no record of me buying one. Well, I presented then the emails I had that showed I had paid for a flag and that it was suppose to be sent to the house. My thinking was if you can't keep track of who buys a flag after sending a receipt then what else can you screw up with my money? I finally said keep the flag and the money I sent for it and take me off any email list you have me on. You can bet they did that without screwing it up. :lolfall:

Or is it a case of good intentions are frequently misdirected?

Ride missions are sent out to all valid PG members in the selected areas with a time to meet up and a physical address....it's up to each individual to attend the functions presented...
Everyone of those events ( and I have attended well over a hundred) were solemn affairs and genuine appreciation was felt by all the family members of the deceased ....
Now with the draw down of active American Military forces throughout the world.. the funerals of the fallen have greatly decreased, which in itself is a good thing. the events now are families that request the Patriot Guards presence at the funerals of veterans who have served this great Nation of ours and served honorably... No request is denied... Some funerals that I attend are with full military honors....You have had to served in the military yourself and be there to experience the emotions of the families of the deceased to really appreciate what the Patriot Guard stands for.
Don't judge the actions of a few
