Amanda was a long time member of the Patriot Guard Riders having joined in 2006.
She was instrumental in setting up the first email membership list for the Four States Area.
Amanda monitored all the PGR missions in the area and made mission notifications.
She later was a moderator of the 4statespgr yahoo group.
Amanda was a National coordinator for the Swift Boat Veteran's and was active in Veterans support group. She was proud of her fathers service in Vietnam and worked tirelessly in her support of Veterans.
Amanda and her two children lost their lives, May 11th in a fire. But the sad part is that Before the fire, Amanda and the children were brutally murdered. The fire set to cover up the crime... At this time we still do not know if the person or person's that committed this crime have been apprehended.
Part on of this mission was a memorial service was in Texarkana Texas on Sunday May 22, the deedants were then transfered to Broken Arrow Oklahoma for another service and burial. Early that morning Tommy and some others staked flags at the chapel and cemetery, and moved to the staging area to wait. Bob and I took my van to Tulsa where I managed to get us lost, nad had to call Tommy for directions! We met up with the others at a parking lot near the chapel. At the prescribed time 14 bikes 1 Trike and 6 cages proceded to the chapel and formed 2 flag lines in front of the entrance. After the services commenced, we stood by to escort to the cemetery. Bob got a call from his fire captain back in westville and he and I had to leave as Rescue crews were requested to go for search and rescue for vicitms of the Joplin tornado. Here is Tommy's Mission Complete for the day:
The PGR was asked by the family of Amanda Prewitt Doss a PGR Rider to stand a flag line and help escort Amanda and her 2 children Guinivere and Texas . Before services started flags were posted at the chapel and centenary . After services at the chapel was over as Amanda and her children was being moved to the coaches we formed a honor line for them . As we were escorting , people saw it was 3 coaches they pulled over and did not move till we were will passed . Up on arriving the centenary the riders form a half circle around Amanda , Guinivere and Texas as they were moved in to place . Amanda's cousin Tim Howard was 1 of the riders helping to escort this family . There were a ride capt.Wesley Barnett and 2 riders from Little Rock , Arkansas . Clubs present AVMC , Legion Riders and Blue Star Mother's . Weather looked like it would storm at any minute but it did not cloudy and windy . There was 14 bikes ,1 trike and 6 cages . I would like to thank all riders who take time to be here for this family . Tommy "dragman" Johnson RC NE OKLA
It is hard to understand why anyone would do such a thing as this, and the death of innocent children always brings me to my knees. When Bob and I entered the chapel and saw the three caskets I was shaken to the bone. The thought of three coaches in a line s not a pretty visual in my mind, and I am kind of glad we had to leave early.
May Amanda and her children rest in peace and may the animal(s) that did this suffer in hell for enternity. God Bless the Family and Friends of the deceased!!!
