Patriot Guard Riders and M1's

[Guest boatme99]

I am a member of the BersaTalk forums and one of our members there has a huge request.

He is a member of Patriot Guard Riders, a national motorcycle club. One of the good things they do is provide Honor Guard for military funerals.

Popeye is located in East. Penn. where a new National Cemetary has opened. To perform the H.G. duty, they need some M1 rifles. ANY condition. They are willing to buy them at a decent price.

Here's a link to the organization: www.Patriotguard.org

I tried to cut and paste Popeyes post here, but failed.

If you're interested or can help him, please go to www.bersatalk.com

and look in the General Talk forum. His Post is a sticky called "Unusual request".

Thanks a lot, Boat

I'll pass this along to our State Captain. Been riding with PGR for a good while now.

Just FYI, PGR is NOT a motorcycle club. They are a riding group. I know that sounds nit picky, but trust me, from someone who wears a 3 piece patch, it's a HUGE difference.

Punisher, thanks for the correction. Obviously I don't ride, I prefer four wheels under me.

They're a legitimate organization, have they not contacted the CMP?

LOL I was trying to say it without sounding like a jerk, it's just one of those things that kinda come up in the motorcycle world You know we always welcome cagers (4 wheeled folk) to stand the flag line with us. You don't have to ride or be a vet to do do PGR missions. It's all about respect. If you're ever interested in it shoot me a PM.

I passed it on to my asst. state captain who will forward it to our state captain. I honestly am not aware that PGR itself does honor guard, but it may be something we do if the family can't get an honor guard, say for like a WWII, Vietnam or Korea vet's funeral. If it can be done trust me those 2 will make it happen.

I fixed the PGR link. Sorry folks.
