My activities with the PGR

I have been a member of the Patriot Guard Riders since 2006, I have been Mission Support Coordinator for the Northwest Arkansas group for most of that time, and Now since I live in eastern Oklahoma, I have been appointed as a Northeast Oklahoma Ride Captain. My First R/C dutie was the Mission for my Uncle Bill Rutledge in Stilwell Oklahoma

Tsgt Edgar Brown USAF Retired Stilwell OK 1-11-11

Tsgt Edgar Brown, was brutally murdered during a carjacking in Stilwell Oklahoma. He was attacked at the WalMart in Stilwell, his body was found in the communnity of Zion, just southwest of Stilwell, and his suv was found on fire near the Piney community northwest of Stilwell. An 18 Year old has been arrested in the case.

Very cold spell in our area snow and Ice on the roads so Bob made the decision to cage it with me on this mission. At the funeral home we had just the two of us, We stood on either side of the door, with flags . Tall and Silent, opening the door for arriving guests.

After the services John from Ft. Smith arrived, and the three of us went to the cemetery to stake flags for the graveside services. After the USAF Honor guard presented the flag, I stepped forward and made the Plaque presentation.

With the services over we retrived all flags, and headed to Westville and Warmth.
