Russ, this is all I have for staging times and places.


PO3 Andrew (Drew) Wilson Knight
KIA
US Coast Guard
Crew Member of Helicopter CG-6535
Saturday 17 February 2012
Thomasville, AL
Fellow Riders,
The Family of PO3 Andrew Knight, one of the crew members of the downed helicopter CG-6535, has requested that the Patriot Guard stand in honor at his funeral. Drew Knight was the last one of the four crew members located after their aircraft went down in the Mobile Bay on February 28th.
We will escort PO3 Knight from O'Bryant Funeral Home to the Thomasville Baptist Church, stand a flagline at the Church, then escort to the cemetery.

Gator from the date on the staging it appear you are going on Saturday (tomorrow). Make sure you bring a hat. You can burn on many missions without it. Also bring a bottle of water, all Ride Captains don't furnish it.

If you ride in formation for any distance, ride defensively since some guys will sway all over the road when you are riding staggared. Wouldn't be a problem except if you don't keep tight, other cars will invade the formation.

If it's police escorted, and you are riding on the inside near the lane line, DO NOT go over that lane line. The police escorts will be riding that area at high speeds to hop scotch the red lites.

The rest will fit together as you go along. The PGR is a most rewarding organization.
