Mission Summary:
|
NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has requested the
presence of the PGR at their annual fundraiser walk. NAMI
helps those with PTSD to improve their quality of life.
We will be part of the opening ceremonies by setting a flag
line and leading the crowd of 500+ walkers in the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Once the walk begins, we will furl the flags,
store them, and be debriefed. If Riders would like to
participate in the walk, bring comfortable shoes.
