PGR STATEWIDE - NC - Send Off - Pope Army Airfield / Fayetteville, NC,

Patriots,

It is with Great Honor that we have the opportunity to Send Off some of our Troops on Monday, 1 SEP 2014. We want to show them the well earned Respect that they deserve.

Staging: 9:00 AM at Pope Army Airfield - Green Ramp – Pax Shed 1.


Directions:
From Main post onto Pope Field via Reilly Rd , take the first left onto Hurst and follow it around to Green Ramp on the right.
From the back gate ( Manchester Rd ) turn right at the light and follow it around to Green Ramp on the left. ( Manchester Rd gate is an ID card only gate ).


Remember, you will be entering a federal installation; LEAVE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED A WEAPON AT HOME.

NOTE: Fort Bragg has initiated a new system. Non DOD ID card holders must access post from All American Freeway. Be sure you have your registration and a valid driver's license. You will need to go to the Welcome Center to obtain a pass to get on the base. Please allow time for this.

CPL Nicole Hugill, 2006, OIF 2003

SGT Ted Duhaime, 2008, OIF 04-06, 860th MP Co

For those brothers and sister in arms who have passed, you are missed. I speak for myself only, but I hope I echo the sentiments of others when I say: We will see you on the other side, take the high ground, and keep your powder dry.

ww2 uncle carlo big red one,

If I may LTC Yinon Weiss, could we have a moderated "wall of remembrance" where RP members could post names to honor our fallen here?

T/SGT Donald D. Tribble 3118 Signal Group WWII, my father is now back with his brothers

LTC Yinon Weiss, my wife and I attended the funeral of SSG(ret) Adam Lee Gordon on 29MAR15. It was truly an extraordinary service. He was a Christian, and yet the service was officiated by his lifelong friend, a Jewish Army chaplain. The chapel was filled with Soldiers and Marines in dress uniform.
We had known him since he was a young teen, as my wife and children became black belts in karate along with Adam and his sister. My wife and his mother have remained friends.
It was an incredibly sad day.
Requiescat in pace, Adam Gordon.
