The family of USA / USN Vietnam Veteran, MIA, CW2 Donald Wann has asked the PGR to stand a Flagline at his services to be held on 21 August at Muskogee / Fort Gibson OK. All information included below and up dates will be posted as needed:
Ride Captain: Pam Tate
The scheduled Mission for Vietnam MIA Donald Wann is as written below. The
...Rolling thunder will have lead on this and we will ride with the escort
supporting them and this hero. We will stand in their flag line with RT and
present the PGR plaque at the service, TBD. Those who are not riding with the escort may assist us in setting flags at the Cemetery. It is our plan to arrive at the cemetery around 0900 set flags and then proceed to the church for the service.
We need to figure out how many flags, and posts to set them on, and how many we can muster up in that area. I can bring the trailer with 40, flags and rod iron, if needed. At the close of the service we will proceed to the Cemetery to stand at our flag line to salute this hero when he arrives.
At the conclusion of the Cemetery service some of us will be leaving for
Purcell, 175 miles, so those who would like can attend the Saturday evening
festivities and planned dinner at the GOG, will be able to do so.
