Mission Summary:
|
The North Texas Patriot Guard Riders have been invited as
Honored Guests to the groundbreaking ceremonies for the
Parker County Veterans Memorial Park in Weatherford, Texas.
The PGR motorcycles will be the only motorized vehicles
allowed through the barricades and we have been given a
special parking area at the Park.
This will be an
opportunity to show our respect to the Gold Star Families
who will be present. This park will be dedicated to those
heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice as well as those
Veterans who served our country to keep us all free.

Additional Information:
|
It has been suggested by the program administrator that
access would be easier for our riders if they entered the
Park area from S. Bowie off Interstate 20. Check the map for
best routes. Indications are that Main St. (Hwy 51) will be
congested. I would suggest that riders be early in the event
security check points are operational, as news crews and
dignitaries will be present.
