Mission:
|
To stand a flag line and have the opportunity to see and
meet some of the last living Heroes of World War II. All
were POW incarcerated by the Japanese. This may be (is)
a once in a lifetime privilege for our North Texas
Patriot Guard Riders as these men are survivors of the
harshest form of human abuse ever recorded and are true
living American Heroes. Remember that most of these men
were sent to Burma and Thailand and worked on the "Death
Railway" (Bridge on River Kwai of historical fame).
Please remember that Semper Gumby is in full force for
this event. We are guests at their reunion and we are
working on their time/event schedule. This is designed
to be a happy event for all where these folks can get
together and enjoy each others company again and for us
to thank them for all
they have
done for us and our country. If this one is anything
like last year's reunion
you will
be very glad you came and
you will
have a very positive effect on a great many people.

appreciated.
- Safety First: With warmer weather, please remember
to properly hydrate (including the night before) before
any outdoor activity and to dress appropriately. Do not
hesitate to take a break at any time if you feel you
need to get in the shade or get indoors and always ask
for help at any time. Also please do not forget your sun
screen.

We will park in the area South and West of the main
hotel entrance. Please make as much room for parking as
possible as we don't know how many bikes and cages to
allow for. The flag/water truck will also be in this
area.
