It’s been a while since I was able to go on a PGR Mission, but thankfully circumstances have conspired to make them possible again.

Today, with the family’s permission, we were able to escort them to Arlington National Cemetery to lay to rest Specialist Michael Gonzalez.

Specialist Gonzalez hailed from Spotswood, New Jersey, and was assigned to the 340th Military Police Company in Baghdad. On August 28th 2008, he was killed by an improvised explosive device.

The first parts of the mission were carried out by PGR members in New Jersey itself. Four of them also escorted Specialist Gonzalez, his family and friends, to ANC today, driving all the way down.  Read more... (245 words, estimated 59 secs reading time)

Stunned Amazement

Almost everything coming out of the UK about veterans of late has been bad – the state of equipment for the British armed forces, the attitudes of the civilians.

Especially the attitudes of the civilians.

So it hit me right in the gut to read on the BBC’s news site about Hailing Star.

They’re a teenage metal band in Devon, from the same town as a hero who fell in 2007, Rifleman Daniel Coffey, 2nd Btn The Rifles.

This group of teenagers (their lead singer is only 15) have written a song, “Lost Heroes” in memory of Rifleman Coffey, and other heroes who have fallen.  Read more... (451 words, estimated 1:48 mins reading time)

We’re still working on cleaning up the pictures we took over Memorial Day Weekend, and will post them as soon as they’re ready, but in the meantime, here’s the videos we shot.

Apologies for the quality, the videos were taken with a digital camera, not a video camera. The sound isn’t “wonderful” for the same reason, but you get the idea of why “Rolling Thunder” is a very appropriate name for the event.

People “back home” are seriously fucked up when it comes to veterans.

Recently, a group of disabled veterans from the only real rehabilitation center in the UK were at a local public swimming pool. One lane was roped off for them to use.

A few of the locals objected to their presence. They were told they didn’t belong there, they were scaring the children. Some people went so far as to object to the veterans getting to “use” the pool “for free” whilst they (the objectors) had to pay a couple of pounds to use it.  Read more...
