*Good Morning Everyone,*



*This is an update of the Pony Express for Sgt. Walker and Brig. Gen. Don
Harvel. *



*Because of this update, this Pony Express will become a Pennsylvania PGR
Mission that will be posted closer to the arrival of the Pony Express. If
you notice the updated itinerary, as of this moment, the honorable transfer
of our two Heroes will go to PA PGR in West Alexander, PA and they will be
taken to Keysers Ridge, MD where there will be an honorable transfer to the
MD PGR . . . then to Arlington*



*I have appointed Randy Ruff to be the Ride Captain for this mission.*



*I will continue to update this mission as I get it. Once I receive all of
the completed updates, I will post this as a mission with full details. If
there are any questions, please refer them to me either by telephone or
email.*



*Thank you all for what you do . . . you are heroes too*
