Happy New Year, and please give this new song a listen
« on: January 05, 2012, 10:52:37 AM »
Happy New Year, to the entire AH community.  I just posted a brand new song for people to listen to at my website, http://www.richowenmusic.com  :x.  It is a tribute to the Patriot Guard Riders, and it's called, "Not Today." The PGR are a group of Harley-riding patriots who began showing up at the funerals of our service members (always with the family's permission), whenever the West Burrow Baptist Church protesters tried to protest at the funeral. The PGR riders would interpose themselves between these loathsome protestors and the grieving family of the deceased soldier, forming a solid wall of US flags and occasionally revving a hog engine to drown out the hateful chants of the protesters.


Since then, the PGR has grown to almost 250,000 members, and acts as honor guards at any vet's funeral where the family asks for them. They also run a "Help on the Homefront" effort, organizing activities at veteran's homes and hospitals. They are at every major departure of a deploying military unit, and at every homecoming.  My hope is to set up a charity fund, such that all profits from the sale of downloads of "Not Today" will go to benefit the families of departed service members.  I hope you'll give it a listen, and tell me what you think.  Thanks, and God bless.

Wow... Looked those guys up...

I'm not even American (Canadian) and those guys stirred my heart.

It's a job that shouldn't have to ever have been done, but it's good that it has.

I am proud to say that I have been a member of the PGR and Wounded Warriors for many years now here in central Pa. I am always honored and humbled to be representing when the families come calling and will forever till the day I die. This organization is one of the greatest that I have been affiliated with and we can always use some good people to stand for what is right.
You dont have to ride a motorcycle to be a member, just a willingness to "give a damn" and show your honor and pride. Also give A.B.A.T.E. a look at, as a member of this also, they do alot of great things for our vets and people in general.

 :salute to all my PGR, Warrior Watch and ABATE brothers and sisters
