Patriot Guard and Associates,
We will again participate in the CTVETERANS PARADE, to be held on Sunday, 8 November 2015. The parade kicks off at 1230 hrs, however we must stage before 1000 hrs before the roads are closed. We will have a small flatbed trailer for riders, plus Skip’s pick-up truck. Those who wish to ride their motorcycles are welcome (limited to 12). Flags will be on site, but if you have PGR Flags, please bring them. Long range forecast calls for cloudy with temps in the 50’s.
Skip will bring a b-b-q grill and have paper goods, utensils and condiments. Jack Casey said he will bring hot dog/hamburg rolls. If you want something grilled, bring it.
We have been assigned the GOLD Division. The trailer and pick-up truck as well as motorcycles should go straight on Hudson St. to the corner of Buckingham St. You will be directed to the staging location. Those planning to ride the trucks, park in the state parking lots on Capital Ave. Walk south to the Gold staging area on Buckingham St.
There will be a Moment of Silence observed at 1330 hrs (1:30 PM). Churches will ring their bells in honor of our veterans. All Units must stop and musical Units must stop playing.
This is a Rain or Shine event
