Posted on behalf of Rat:
To all:
As of July 1, 2023, I will be stepping down from my Leadership position as Assistant State Captain - Metro, and also as a Ride Captain for CO. It has been my honor to have been of service in these roles for the past number of years.
I will be unable to attend missions for the near future, but I will return as soon as possible. I do apologize for letting you know with this email, but announcing it at one of our recent missions just didn't work out.
You will all be remembered in my prayers. So for now, be well and take care! See you soon!
With great respect and gratitude,
Rat

Rat, take care of yourself. We all look forward to seeing you in the near future.

It goes without saying your commitment to the PGR and your selfless dedication will be missed.
Thank You

Rat, I want to thank you for your service to our fine organization over the years, your leadership and dedication to our military and 1st responders, and the way you honor them, both via the PGR and in your own other ways. I must also thank you for all of your advice and council given since I took on the role as SC, it has been invaluable and much appreciated. I'm honored to stand with you and call you a friend, and look forward to your return in the future. Be Well and Take Care.
Rat so sad to hear of your stepping down and back from the PGR. Where will I get my mission hugs from? You have been a outstanding leader and friend for a long time and you will be missed. I hope you know that when I and other PGR members write here that if you ever need us we will have your 6, we are not just writing words, we are making a promise. If you ever need anything I am a phone call away.
