[PGR_PA_r5] Memorial Day

[Assistant State Captain West]

*Dear Members and Friends,*

*This Monday, May 25th, our country is celebrating Memorial Day in honor of
those who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. Military. Because of
Covid-19 many will decide that they cannot do anything to remember and
honor these Heroes on this Memorial Day. I urge you to take a stand and
find a way to honor and remember these Heroes.  Take a minute or two to
remember them, speak of them to your friends, email messages of them, text
stories of them, remember and honor them.*

*We are Patriot Guard Riders because we care, and we as Patriot Guard Rider
members, more than ever, need to step up and remember on this Memorial
Day. *

*Let me start this conversation now . . . I remember every day and Memorial
Day a young man who saved my life in Vietnam many times over and was later
awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor . . . Cpl. Larry Maxxam; I remember
every day and Memorial Day the sons of the Gold Star Mothers and Fathers
that I have held, cried with and shared my life with; I remember every day
and Memorial Day the husbands of the Gold Star Wives that I have cried with
and shared my life with; I remember every day and Memorial day the men and
women whose names I have read on the stones in American cemeteries all over
the world; most of all I remember every day and Memorial Day the unknown
names of the thousands of men and women who perished serving our country in
times of war and in peace since the beginning of our country.*

*The conversation is now in your hands . . . it is about them that we
remember on Memorial Day. Continue the conversation and let it come from
your heart . . . they deserve it. Do not let Covid-19 or anything else stop
us from finding a way to remember and honor them. Thank you all for what
you do and thank you all for being heroes too.*
