[PGR_PA_r2] Veterans Day

[Assistant State Captain West]

*Good Chilly Morning to Everybody,*

*In about 2 weeks our country will be celebrating a day to honor Veterans.
Veterans of the past, the present and future deserve to be honored and
remembered. Today's Veterans are generally forgotten, some live in poverty,
and some are broken to the point of suicide . . . yet, each Veteran is a
Hero and we should embrace them by remembering them. Most Veterans know
that it takes courage to leave your family and friends to be part of the
military, and we also know that it takes courage to leave the military and
start life all over again. *

*I volunteered not long ago at the VA Hospital in Pittsburgh. Many of the
Veterans that I talked to had the same old story "none of my friends or
family visit me". Those who volunteer are the new friends and family, but
we volunteers are becoming fewer and fewer. On Veterans Day, we need to
make a difference by attending any of the services that are held around us.
We need to talk about the Veterans, we need to make sure that our family,
friends and neighbors remember our Veterans. Many of these Heroes blend in,
are out of sight and are out of mind, but we cannot let that happen. Please
show that you care by standing with the Patriot Guard Riders . . . you do
not need a motorcycle to take a stand for these Heroes. Remembering our
Veterans is a huge step in letting them know that they are not forgotten.*

*For those who wish to attend the service at the National Cemetery of the
Alleghenies on November 11th, the mission is listed below. After the
service, we have been invited to lunch at the Cecil Senior Center listed
below. The Seniors at this center, particularly the Veterans, wish to thank
all of us for what we do. I encourage you to attend this lunch, talk to the
Veterans, and let them know we support them and will not forgot them.*

*Those who wish to attend other services and don't know where they are
being held can find that information on our website or they can call or
email me directly. *

*Thank you all for what you do. I look forward to seeing you at National
Cemetery . . . YOU ARE HEROES TOO. *

*Aaron*

*ABOUT THE MISSION:*
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to escort then stand in honor
for all those who have served on Veterans Day at the National Cemetery of
the Alleghenies.

It is an extreme honor to be invited back to escort our local veterans to
the cemetery for the Ceremony.

Veterans Day originated as "Armistice Day" Nov. 11, 1919 to commemorate the
end of World War I (major hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour of
the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918). The day became an annual
observance in 1926 the 11th of November became a national holiday in 1938.

This is an Open Invite, all are welcome including children. For those who
are unable to escort, you can meet us at Memorial Walkway, POW Circle. When
you arrive, tell security you are with PGRPA so they can direct you to
