Greetings Fellow PGR MEMBERS,
We have a new mission tentatively scheduled for next Saturday 16 July in Robstown.
We have been requested by the family to participate in the funeral services of U.S. Army veteran, Joseph "Rick" Eddins. He was a war time, combat disabled veteran of 82nd Airborne, Americas Guard of Honor. Stationed out of Ft. Bragg. N.C. After serving in the Army he was a Police Office for the Odessa, Texas Police Department for several years and road motorcycle patrol. He later moved on to become Chief Deputy Constable for the Annaville, Calallan and Robstown area.
The family requests escort riders and requests, that due to his love of motorcycles and his services as a motorcycle patrolman, that his cremated remains be carried to the cemetery by one of our Patriot Guard Rider's motorcycles. His widow states that if he were alive he would be deeply moved by this act of the Patriot Guard Riders.

Thank you for your help with this Mission and for your help in continuing to make the PGR such a great organization. Ride Safe!!!
We stage at the lower level concourse near the baggage claim area, just inside the doors at the far east end of the terminal.
Please remember, if you are riding your motorcycles, park in the designated area and be mindful of the three (3) cross-walks. Make sure to come to a full stop at each of crosswalks.
Riders, please start parking your bikes AFTER the last cross-walk. Once the parking space is full, the overflow can begin parking in the area immediately before the cross-walk.
If you are riding your vehicle, you must return your signed parking ticket to the attendant, sign the registry log, and identify yourself as a PGR member in the signature log.
Thank you for your cooperation with these Airport Missions and for your help in continuing to make the PGR such a great organization. Ride Safe!!!
