PGR ESCORT EVENT
Operation Finally Home Dedication for US Navy Veteran Harold Lincoln


Operation Finally Home has requested the presence and participation of the Patriot Guard Riders at their escort to a Veteran's new home.

Harold L Lincoln, 88, served in the US Navy from April 1955 to Dec. 1957. An electrical fire in May 2021 damaged much of the home, including the complete destruction of two bedrooms and a bathroom. Smoke damaged the plumbing, electrical and windows throughout the rest of the house as well. After the fire, several local organizations offered support, including reaching out to Operation Finally Home for potential assistance. Along with the builder, BAM Builders, and sponsor, H-E-B Operation Appreciation, Operation Finally Home is honored to provide the Lincoln family with a new, custom-built and mortgage-free home on their property in Waco, Texas. Harold's story may be found here: https://www.operationfinallyhome.org/the-lincoln-family

We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Operation Finally Home Dedication for US Navy Veteran Harold Lincoln

Ride Captains -
Gary “GT” Taylor
Sherry “8 Toes” Hering

I would like to thank the riders who attended the dedication yesterday and completed the mission. Though the weather during the dedication was great, PGR had to deal with rain and lightning to travel from different areas to get to stagings to accomplish the mission. Thank you to GT, 8Toes, Cinnamon Rose, Gibby, Ira, and Becky for attending the dedication yesterday; you guys are an inspiration.

————————————-

Good Afternoon.  I just wanted to say THANKS for helping us today at the Lincoln Dedication in Waco.  The event went great, and after a bumpy morning, the weather was actually perfect.  We cannot thank the PGR enough for what you do for our military heroes.  We are always honored when you choose to partner with us, as we give back to those who have given so much.  We look forward to partnering with you again in the future.  I will contact you again when we have another project in the central Texas area.  Thanks again, and please let your entire team know how much we appreciate them.  God Bless!!

Ronnie, Operation Finally Home
