My wonderful Step Mom had 3 sons,lost her youngest son in 77 in a motorcycle accident.Then about 4 years ago lost her oldest in another motorcycle accident.He had been drinking and riding his Harley that he just did a beauty of a restore on.She had just talked to him a week prior about knowing better than drinking and riding.His younger Brother had been drinking also.

Its been tough but she has gotten through.As I pray that you and your family also heals from this.

Sorry for your loss. There are alot of rider groups that can offer assistance in a time like this. You also may want to look into if he was a member of any riding groups.

He stood for us and we will no doubt stand for him. I'm not in his state but we have gone beyond standing for only Iraq and Afghanistan war dead. So there is a real good chance the the local PGR will work with SoFlo and the family to get an honor guard out there.

But remember the PGR ONLY acts at the request of the family. We will not simply show up. So they need to get in touch with the State Captain and get the wheels turning. Once the PGR is asked to join the services, the Ride Captains will handle everything as far as the PGR is concerned.

I just sent Charger, the Colorado State Captain an email asking for details and letting them know our tentative schedule.
Thank you, Bree, for sharing this. It is very cool and I know Chad and all his riding buddies would dig that show of support!

If I were there I would ride over and stand for the services. I can't do that, so I will fly an American Flag and a PGR flag outside my house for him starting Friday until he goes in ground. I'll try and snap some PIX of the flags for you.
