We have a great Team that goes out and tries to comfort the families and friends fallen Heroes. What you do and the commitment and dedication you have is really hard to explain. I can only say, Thank you very much. I pride and honor the chance to be a part of such a great group of people. It does not matter how short of notice we have you show up ready to anything needed to make our mission asuccess. This past year has really been a busy one.

Team, I would like to take a minute of your time on a matter. Anyone who knows me knows where my heart is when it comes to our Veterans and the Ky PGR. I will always make choices for the better of both.

I heard someone mention that our Ky PGR has strayed. I disagree. Our mission is and will always be the same, 1-Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.2- Shield the mourning family, and their friends from interruption created by ANY protestor or group of protestors. We accomplish this by strictly legal and non-violent means. This is our mission, always has been and always will be to the best of my ability.

Since I have been State Captain, we have added the First Responders to our mission requests. Our Veterans will always come first. I have heard nothing but possitive responce to what we do for our law officers and firemen. We have gained alot or noteriaty and added respect for what we do from the communities where we went to honor a First Responder. Anyone who has attended one of these mission learned what a LAST CALL is all about. I think something got started about a Fire Fighters parade we were invited to attend. I think it was out of respect this town has for us.

If we free from our MISSION to our Veterans, then doing things for the communities should be OK. I hope in the future, if anyone has a problem or wonders why or does not agree with a matter in our Ky PGR that they call me or Tom Folsom, our Assistant State Captain so we can solve it without an uproar. Thanks for you time.

TEAM, we have had quite a few PGR members in Ky. and surrounding states have accidents here lately. It is summer time and alot more people are out. They are thinking of where they would like to be or where they have been. The last thing they see is a MOTORCYCLE. PLEASE keep you attention
on what is around you. I want everyone to make it home safe to their families and friends. Just remember,

THAT CAR OR TRUCK IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION FOR MOTORCYCLES.

PLEASE RIDE WITH SAFTEY ON YOU MIND AND BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

Hope to see all of you on missions down the road. Thanks

Team, it is my honor to personally thank all of our TEAM that helped make not only the KIA mission in HENDERSON a great success, but everyone who worked and attended the other missions around the state .  It just shows the dedication and commitment we have to honor our veterans. Each mission went without any problems and I am sure the family and Community were proud for us to be there. A special thanks to all of our friends from Indiana,  Ohio , Tennessee and Illinois. The riders from Rolling Thunder, American Legion riders, CMA riders and all the other groups who were involved in making this a very good  send  off for these brave soldiers and our fire fighter.  Again, from the bottom of my heart, Thanks. You all will never realize how proud I am to be a part of such a great group of people.
