From AAPYLT at aol.com Thu Jul 10 20:39:24 2008 From: AAPYLT at aol.com (AAPYLT at aol.com) Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:39:24 EDT Subject: [News_txpgr.org] Fwd: July 4th Royce Parade--Please post Message-ID: Don Massey & The Patriot Guard Riders Dear Don I can not express in words my appreciation for the Patriot Guard Riders that participated in the Royse City 4Th of July Parade which helped to make it a success. I am still getting calls about how nice it was that I had the Patriot Guard Riders in the parade, a first for Royse City. It makes me feel like a hero and the crowed loved it. The parade judges were also impressed with the Patriotism shown by the riders which earned you'll the judge's trophy for the "Best Motorcycle" in the parade. I am sorry that there is only one trophy but it was earned by all. Please convey my sincere " THANKS" to the Patriot Guard Riders and a "Thank You" to you also. Gene Allen LTC. U.S. ARMY, RETIRED Ps: Would all of those that participated in the parade send me an email so I can send a picture of the trophy. Thanks, Don Massey **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!

The turnout was fantastic and the work party took shape very quickly. Both shelters now have PVC tubes to support our flags during a ceremony. I especially want to thank Bill Mayo for bring tools and water and a supervisor's eye to get the job done. Thanks Bill. Also, thanks to James Carlisle for chasing down some donuts for us. We just needed a way to attach a coffee maker to his Goldwing. Maybe next year's model will have one as standard equipment. Thanks James. Ride safe and thank you again.

I will let them speak for themselves. Bill Don, I have also sent these comments to Ben Weaver, another coordinator of gifts for Michael. The trip to the Cemetery was an outstanding event and we were all so pleased, to say nothing of "Michael possibly smiling all the way to Dallas." We don't begin to have the words to thank everyone of Michael's friends and also The Patriot Guard for their outstanding financial donations at Michael's death. What a tremendous blessing you all are to us, his family, and what a blessing you have been to Michael as he spoke so highly of you. The comments written in the Star-Telegram Guest Book following Michael's obituary are so full of good memories and love you shared with Michael. During this time of great pain to us and to you, these remarks are tender and loving to us and will be remembered with great respect for your friendships. We have truly been overwhelmed with the numbers of responses and depth of fondness you have expressed for Michael. Again, this seems to be such a minimal expression for the feeling we really have in our hearts to share our deepest gratitude, but it is the best we can do at the moment. And we do thank you many times over for reaching so deeply into your pockets for us.

It was a great turn out and the troops were thrilled with having the PGR there to see them off. Also, thank you for donating to and signing the PGR flag that they will take to Iraq with them. That little gesture seems to make a huge impression on the men and women that are being deployed. I have to say, the people of the PGR are what make it great. Thank you for doing what you do every day when the call goes out. You are always ready. I am deeply impressed and honored to ride with all of you.
