[PGR_PA_r3] Use of Patriot Guard Riders Photo in a Political Flyer

[STATE CAPTAIN]

 All,
   In an effort to get ahead of any backlash or misconception, PGRPA has
notified the coordinators of an event occurring in Potter County to stop
using or alter a flyer being circulated for said event. The coordinators
used a photo showing a group of motorcycles with a PGR flag and motorcycle
windscreen banner as one of the main photos on their flyer for the event.
Neither PGR, Inc nor PGRPA authorized its use, and cannot authorize its use
since it is for a specific political candidate.
 We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and cannot be aligned with
ANY political
party/event/ideology/candidate. I am also asking each of you to keep an eye
out for things like this ... it only takes one misrepresentation to smudge
our stellar reputation. Especially in the "them versus us" climate we are
currently in.
  Thank you all for being out there to honor our veterans and showing
respect for their service ... keep it up and bring a friend to the next
honor mission!

*Respectfully,ⓋTimmaye!!!*
