Brothers and Sisters of the PGR and Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I come to you today with a call to once again stand silent and proud for one who stood for us in three different wars. We have been asked to provide a flag line and escort in honor of Richard Overington. We will answer this call as always, with Honor and Respect.
Richard is a Navy veteran of WW ll, as well as a Marine veteran of Korea, and Vietnam. He was awarded three Purple Hearts for combat-related wounds and was intensely proud of his March 2009 designation as a "Hard Core Warrior" in a Proclamation issued by the Commanding Officer, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune.
Following Richard's service to his nation, he worked as a machinist for the Stanadyne Corporation in Jacksonville before retiring.
Richard will be lovingly missed and be in their hearts forever by his wife, seven children, nine Grandchildren, and four Great-Grandchildren.

**SPECIAL NOTE: Safety is of our utmost priority. Every effort possible is made in planning and executing the PGR Mission statement in a manner that minimizes the inherit dangers of riding a motorcycle, including riding in groups of all sizes and any situation. While the NCPG, and it's riders have a remarkable safety record in the execution of our missions, infrequently members have been injured in unforeseen accidents. In an effort to mitigate the risk of preventable accidents, all attendees who wish to ride in a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort or ride are asked to attend the pre-mission briefing. It will include a safety briefing, and any unique ride information known to our RCIC that may be specific to the mission. Member safety and well-being is always a principal ongoing concern, our RCIC's are asked to stand-down from any mission that cannot be accomplished in relative safety or unreasonable risk. This includes both rides and flag lines in inclement weather and conditions. It remains each individual PGR member's responsibility to ride within their own comfort zone and be cognizant of their surroundings and skill limitations as well as any physical needs or limitations. If the ride and/or mission conditions present challenges beyond your skill, comfort, or needs you are expected to exercise good judgment in foregoing any planned participation.
