<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";

us will want to be involved in. It is a kind of “Bucket List”
wish for Army Captain Stacey Franklin, a nurse who is currently on medical
leave for terminal cancer. She wants to ride a Harley. One of our
members, Stephen “Flag Man” VanHecke, and his wife have taken it
upon themselves to put this wonderful labor of love together and if I know the PGR
folks in North Texas it’s something that all will want to support if they
can. Please remember that we have the honor mission in Joshua earlier in
the afternoon but I think there may be time to do both if we have the wind at
our backs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

see, the details have been worked out with great care already. If things
change I will certainly let you know as soon as I can. We have our honor
mission for Private Earl Lolley earlier on Saturday but multiple events in one
day, or even occurring at the same time, is certainly nothing new to us in
North Texas. I know we will all do our best.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
