[Assistant State Captain West]

*All,*

*Tomorrow's mission to honor Staff Sergeant Dylan Elchin is very special to
me. I want to encourage you to make every best possible effort to be there
to honor Dylan and show your support for our gold star families. The
weather may not be the most favorable, but you do not need to ride your
bike to honor and escort. There will be a limousine passenger bus provided
by Legacies Alive for those that wish to use. We have the support of 3
local police departments and the Beaver County Sheriff's department to
provide safe escort to our destination. We will stand the flag line during
the ceremony and afterwards, anyone wishing to return to the American
Legion you are welcome as honored guest of the American Legion Post 580.
Any questions, please reach out to me.*

Staff Sergeant Dylan Elchin deserves this honor and so do his family and
friends. Rain or shine, I will be there one way or the other.*

The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited back by the family and in

Province, Afghanistan.
