Under heavy fire and despite being hit, Cpl Gutoski destroyed two German tanks and a Gunner position to pave the way for his unit. His unit commander named him “Fighting Walter” for his actions.The government lost his paperwork for his Bronze Star and Promotion, however, we will award it to him posthumously at a graveside Ceremony to remember his valiant service. The presentation will be made by a surviving Veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. This Hero was the Uncle of fellow PGR and BoD member Scott Wilderman.

***REMINDER ABOUT THE NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL CHILI COOK-OFF, SATURDAY, 30 APRIL 2016, SOMERS, CT***

April 24, 2016 by

Patriot Guard and Associates,

WE’RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE BIG EVENT! ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO. I HOPE EVERYONE IS FIRED UP FOR THIS, THE LARGEST CHILI COOK-OFF IN NEW ENGLAND. LETS MAKE IT A HUGE SUCCESS.

The Annual NERCC, which is our largest source of operating funds, is scheduled for 30 April 2016 in Somers, CT. This event is organized by our very own Ride Captain, Mike Freedman. As you all know, this requires a lot of help on the part of the CTPGR to set up and run. I hope we can count on those who helped in the past to again give us a hand.

Mark Brundage, Sr is Coordinator for the set up crew. This requires an early start in the morning, as well as people to help with the set up. Additionally, we need people throughout the day to man (or woman) the registration tables, and anything else that comes.

The Somers Fire Dept., also a beneficiary of this fundraiser, already has volunteers lined up. So let’s get on board and make this another rip roaring success.

Let Mark A. Brundage, Sr  know your willingness to help at markabrundagesri@yahoo.com , or send me an e-mail with that info.

Thanks for your help.

God Bless America, Our Troops and First Responders.

 Regards,
