Default PGR mission

I realize this has no place in the tech forum, but I know there are plenty PGR brothers out there who share the same boat. I finished my third mission today for a young US Army Sgt. Kim, and dont feel like I will ever get used to the sorrow I feel for the families of these fallen soldiers. These men and women are true hero's to me. God bless them and their families. God bless the United States of America.

Thanx Robert for doing what you do for our heros. I too am a PGR rider and it is always a very solemn affair. The families I have dealt with have been nothing but appreciative and supportive of what the PGR does. It is always so sad to bury another of America's heros. Keep up the good work .

I am also a PGR memberand I've doneabout a dozen or so missions. I doesn't get any easier. In fact, in my opinion it gets harder. It is very important we continue doing these missions because, God knows, our heros will continue doing theirs.

Restassured, young US Army Sgt. Kim, that you will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with you and you family.

I've been on quite a few missions, and I have to admit, it really hurts to see a young brother being put to rest.
It does make me feel proud to do this though. I guess it's just my way of saying THANK YOU to the one's that I never got to know.
I would much rather give them all an escort home when this all comes to an end. Very soon I hope.

PG Rider here, and I hear what you are saying.

The worst ones for me are when there is a small child, the child of a soldier who isn't going to be there because they put their life on the line for ... well I don't know what for and I don't want to politicize this thread so I'll drop the thought.
We stand for the soldier as he stood for US, we make sure he or she is memorialized with honor, we protect his family from those that would interfere with their greiving.

IF YOU ARE NOT A PGR MEMBER I ASK YOU WHY NOT?

I'm a member also. It never gets any easier. Thewelcome homemissions are nice to deal with. I will continue on missions as long as God lets me. As a child I remember the things the older guys went thru and I refuse to let it happen again. God bless all the Men and Women defending us and our freedom.

As Neggy ZRXOA 5248said "IF YOU ARE NOT A PGR MEMBER I ASK YOU WHY NOT?"

Having presented multiple flags to survivors I can say it never gets easier, expecially when presenting to kids.
