<div>All,</div><div> I echo "Bear's" concerns below, but urging each of you to not take this as a reason to avoid any Honor Missions or make it a reason to attend. We want you to be aware of your surroundings AT ALL times to remain secure. <br></div><div> Whatever your political persuasion, Patriot Guard Riders is a NON-POLITICAL organization and will remain that way. DO NOT make any political statements (either way) to any news outlets, radio, television, newspaper while wearing ANY Patriot Guard Riders apparel or accoutrements. Any social media posts are your PERSONAL views and will be treated as such.</div>
