I have recently sent a large PGR flag to the Da-Chief who has received it on friday.

The purpose for this flag is for our members to have their names added to it by Da-Chief who will then send it to HM3 Reinhart who is currently deployed in Afghan.

Reinhart is going to have the Marines with him sign it and then it will be flown in honor of HM3 Layton at their base. From there, it will be given to HM3 Layton's family. Hopefully, this is something we can do each time we lose a fallen comrade.

Please post your user names at the end of this message to be added or PM Da-Chief directly with your name.

P.S. You DO NOT have to be a PGR member to have your name added. We want as many as possible.

I would love to fill the flag to show our support.


Respectfully,

Dvldocjoe

I want to personally thank all of those who submitted their names to
Da-Chief to fill the flag. I understand it will be filled in within a couple of weeks to be sent to our deployed brother.

This is the last call for signatures to be added to this flag. It is being filled in this week to be sent to Afghan.
PM your name to Da-Chief ASAP.

I'm pleased to report Da-Chief mailed the signature Patriot Guard flag this morning (February 16, 2010) at approximately 0945.

I sure hope Da-Chief remembered to put our family on there. I can't remember if I messaged him or not - my bad :(
