HOTH Mission

Charleston Christian Church
Veterans Appreciation Service

All Military Branches

Sprakers, NY - 11/02/2025

Mission applies to the following Region(s):

Region 4, Region 5

About the Mission:

The Pastor of the Charleston Christian Church has once again asked Patriot Guard Riders to provide an Honor Guard for his Veterans Appreciation Service. This will be the 8th year of our participation in this event. A flag line will be set up to receive the veterans entering the Community Room for refreshments prior to the service. We will then reset the line to lead the veterans into the church as the Honor Guard. The colors of all the branches will be displayed as the National Anthem is played in recognition of their service.

The colors will be posted before the start of the service and retrieved at the conclusion where the flag line will reset again to honor the veterans entering the Community Room to dine. Those members of PGR attending this mission are cordially invited to dine with the veterans for a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. Any member who has attended this mission in the past will attest to a true dining experience.

I ask for enough members to please attend to assure a full Honor Guard complement. There will be a short prayer preceeding the meal to honor deceased PGR member Mike Clerico, who was always present for this event.
