<p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'>In the 2008 parade the
Traveling Liberty Bell and the North Texas Patriot Guard Riders were awarded
the "<em>Grand Marshall Award"</em>. This is the number one
award given to participants in this parade. The parade officials were so
impressed with the riders and the flags during the lineup that
the NTPGR was moved from 88th position to the second in the parade.
Riding just in front of David Hall and the Liberty Bell seemed to be just the
right place. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce the PGR to those in
the community who may not have been exposed to the cause we stand for.
This is the one day of the year that most Americans will stand up and wave the
American flag. We could not pick a better day to demonstrate our
patriotism to the public.<span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We will set up our parade formation, big flag bikes followed
by all other bikes in the line position designated by the parade
officials. Once the bikes are in formation, we will do all that we
can to hydrate. I want to try an impress on each rider the importance of
hydration the night before. The weather will be hot, the bikes will be
hot and this would not be the time to end up lying on the hot pavement.
During this hot weather it is as important to drink plenty of water but do
not forget Gator-aid type drinks to increase your body’s electrolytes.<span
