Colorado PGR Forum

I am attaching words of appreciation that have been recently received. Once again, reinforcing the importance of our words and actions. What amazing people the PGR are! I was just checking to see if the mission was posted and it has been. I looked at the comments...so touching and kind! Choked me up! Thanks again for your help! We recently provided a bit of financial help for a young Fort Carson Soldier so that he could get his motorcycle back on the road as his primary mode of transportation. I have heard from him a couple of times, most recently after he received our check. He said he would get his bike back on the road within the next day or two. He may need to rent a trailer and get a few friends to help get his bike to the shop. He said that whatever money might be leftover, he would return to us. He added that it was very gracious of our members to help him out. He appreciates our support and our kind hearts. He ended his call by asking us to be safe out there. I would like to add a big "thank you" to Colorado PGR member Albert, from Lamar. He found this young Soldier, Tyler, broken down, along side the road. Albert drove home and hooked up his trailer and took Tyler and his motorcycle to Colorado Springs.
