Good Evening All,

As all of you are by now aware, there is an ongoing mining tragedy in Montcoal, WV with the greatest loss of life in a mining accident in this country in more than a quarter of a century.

While all of us grieve for those who have lost loved ones and those whose loved ones have yet to be located, I am sending this to each member asking that you please keep your emotions in check.

There have been reports of certain factions that have already arrived in the Montcoal area for the express purpose of distributing literature applauding the fate of our miners and, while our initial reaction is to go to the area to protect the families, we must stay away. Any action by you could seriously jeopardize the Patriot Guard Riders 501.c.3 status with the Federal government as well as be playing directly into their hands.

At the appropriate time, with the proper invitation from the families, providing it follows our Mission Statement, then and only then will the PGR make their presence known.

I thank each of you for exercising restraint in this matter and thank you for what you do.

Please remember to keep the families of those lost miners in your thoughts and prayers, as well as those on the rescue teams who are fighting against all odds to find those still missing.

Respects,

Joe

Hey Chev.... I got a VM from BenYen around 7:15 tonight, that I finally just got a chance to listen to. His unit is busing home from New Jersey tonight at midnight he said, & he asked me to get ahold of you, as he was inquiring/wondering about setting something up with the Patriot Guard possibly??

I PM'd you my & his cell #'s. Unfortunately, I listened to his VM so late, it killed what was left of this evening for planning, & they'll probably be home by mid morning, unless it's not a straight shot & there are a lot of layovers, a'la Greyhound/charter

Feel free to call me at any time tonight if need be.... Doesn't matter if you wake me up
