********UPDATE*******
 
All Patriot Guard attending the funeral mission on Friday, February 24th  for Sgt. Michael Todd May, please have something on your motorcycle or car to identify that you are with the Patriot Guard.
 
If you have a PGR armband or PGR windshield decal for your bike, please put it on before entering the parking lot of the church. If you do not have an armband or decal and are on a bike, please tie a bandana around your arm or mirror that will identify you.
 
If you are in a cage, please put something in your windshield to identify you that you are with the Patriot Guard. Sheet of paper with PGR written on it is fine.
 
This is due to the massive attendence that is expected. This is to make it easier for those directing parking at the church to get you where you need to be. There will also be roads closed in route to the cemetery and this will identify that we are PGR and will be allowed to pass. 
 
If you have any questions, please contact me.
