Fort Collins, CO
Wichita Falls, Texas - My dad and brother participated in a Patriot Guard mission recently. This mission was a send-off for troops departing from a Grand Prairie Guard Unit to Iraq. The Patriot Guard of the Dallas area escorted the troops to Bowie, Texas where the Patriot Guard of North Texas and Oklahoma took over and escorted nine buses carrying troops to Fort Sill, OK (near Lawton, OK).
Patriotism is not dead in little town America. Dad says the main streets of the small towns between Bowie, Texas and Lawton, Oklahoma were lined with Americans waving flags and cheering for our troops.
The Patriot Guard riders turned out in significant numbers to perform their patriotic duty despite the heat and high winds.
