Arrow Veterans and Active Duty Roll Call.

On this Memorial Day weekend, lets hear from our members who are veterans and active duty military, so that we can thank you properly for your service to our country.

Its important to always remember the sacrifices made, and still being made, by our service men and women to keep us free.

We thank you for everything you've done and continue to do.

Thanks you to all who have served!
I volunteer with the Patriot Guard these days http://www.socalpgr.org/Home.html
Here is an excerpt of our mission:
The Patriot Guard Riders mission has two objectives:

1. Show respect and honor to our fallen heroes of current wars and operations, and support their families and communities, by attending funeral services as invited guests of the family.

2. The Patriot Guard Riders will provide this support and respect in a professional manner, upholding the Laws of California and other states, and will participate in a non-violent manner.

The Patriot Guard Riders mission is to stand guard at funerals of our Fallen Soldiers of current wars and operations who were killed in action or are casualties of war.

The mission is supported by many motorcycle organizations and non-rider individuals who share one common goal: we all have tremendous respect for those who risk their lives every day, whether on American soil or abroad, in securing our nation's freedoms and liberties.

We encourage those who share this respect to join us.

You do not have to ride a motorcycle or be a veteran to support the Patriot Guard Riders mission.
