Hey all,
Look around the site, we have made a few subtle changes

Saturday - May 17, 2008
As an unfortunate consequence of Operation Iraqi Freedom and America’s war on terror, many children of our active-duty military personnel are now members of single-parent families. In most cases, this also means their chances to attend college have greatly diminished. Children of military personnel killed on active duty are en#@*%!led to receive money toward a college education. But it’s not enough. We are raising funds to ensure that higher education will be a reality for these families.

Sorry folks... due to technical difficulty we lost a few of our posts. Thanks to all that stop by and say, "HEY".

Hello,

Currently stationed at Rock Island, in the Marine Corps Liaison office. Avid rider, also MSF and Harley Davidson Riders Edge Rider Coach. Was looking at your site, thinking about joining. Can anyone give me some info. Thanks.

It just so happens that I know a few people that work very hard at what they do even if they do NOTHING at all...

Always remember.... Nobody can do everything BUT everybody can do something. Your chapter is only as good as it's members.

Apparently someone out there is using the name, "Patriot Guard Riders" as part of a phone scam.
The solicitor targets veterans, and asks them to join the Patriot Guard Riders, along with submitting a membership fee.
But in reality, the PGR doesn't collect membership fees. Maria Dahlquist, webmaster for the Patriot Guard Riders, is asking anyone who has information about this, or has been contacted by the scammer, to contact her at (316) 522-2000.

She's compiling for information for local authorities and the Better Business Bureau
