<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>The information below is not an official PGR
mission and provided for your use to attend if you can and would like to.
Unfortunately, here in the Metroplex area, we are simply unable to honor all
the requests we receive for individual welcome homes. They could easily
run into the hundreds and more and we just don’t have the resources to
accommodate each one. Given that this is a wounded warrior and came to us
via Texas HOTH Coordinator Debbie Horton we are posting the information for the
riders to see. The details came from this Marine’s mom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>For any riders planning to go to the airport,
please remember to check current flight information such as arrival time, gate
and baggage claim area before you go for any changes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormalCxSpMiddle><span style='color:black'>I would love for the
Patriot Riders to come and be a part of my son, LCPL Rodgers, homecoming.
He is currently living in San Diego at the Wounded Warrior Barracks at the
Naval Medical Center. Justin was injured in Afghanistan when a 10-15yr
old child threw a fragmentation grenade into his turret on top of the hummer.
Despite his major injuries to his left hand, arm, and face, his is recovering
very well. We are very appreciative of everything our military medical
staff did to save the use of his hand. Justin sustained six surgeries and
continues physical and occupational therapy. Justin will be traveling
from San Diego to DFW Airport on Saturday at 12:30pm. He will be arriving
on American Airlines Flight 1672. Justin was a Varsity quarterback at NW
High School, an Eagle Scout, and now a Purple Heart recipient. As you can
tell we are very proud of him. We are excited to just have him home,
especially for the holidays. I know that many other mothers may not be
able to say that and for them I pray for peace in their hearts. Our family
knows how lucky we are. We thank you for making this homecoming that much
more special!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
