 The relief mission to Oklahoma was a very huge success and is very hard to describe in words what it meant to the NTXPGR and the victims of the tornado that received our donations.  Everywhere that we went to drop off donated items, we were welcomed with tears and hugs and a lot of waving from the victims and relief workers. Of course there were a lot of tears flowing and hugs from a lot of the PGR.  This mission could not have been successful without a lot of help from our members and supporting drop off sites (retail stores) from the Metroplex and across the Texoma area. Prior to departing for Oklahoma, we had several trucks and trailers that were not full of donations and our members made sure that those trucks and trailers went full. They were carrying arm loads for dog food, horse feed, brooms,  rakes and anything else that was needed to fill the vehicles up prior to our departure. I am so proud to be a part of this organization and the relief supplies they collected for this mission. My thank you from the people in Oklahoma came very early in the mission, when a lady was standing on the side of road waving, throwing kisses and hollering thank you thank you thank you as we went by.

Once again the North Texas Patriot Guard completed an amazing mission.
We came together as one and delivered some supplies to families that really
needed out help.  The Oklahoma tornado devastated the areas around
Oklahoma City and our help was greatly appreciated.  Over 40 bikes, over
8 cages and over 58 members gathered items and delivered them to help 
the families that lost everything.  Their wave, smile and hugs was enough
of a reward for what little bit that we did today.  Tears of appreciation and
heartfelt thanks was evident at each and every stop we made to unload
the items.  Thanks go to all that donated and gathered the items and made
the trip today.  Without you, today would not have happened.  This is what
it is all about in America and God bless the soldiers that are keeping this spirit
alive in our hearts.

Even after seeing the television coverage of this disaster there are no words to describe the devastation and the terror that these families went through.
#1 Drop Location- Little Axe - We stopped at a family business that was taking supplies in to be distributed to the victims. We unloaded some of the supplies then talked with the family that was running the location and they expressed how grateful that they were for us making the effort we did to help them in their time of need. The entire group then gathered in one location for a group photo.
#2 Drop Location- Bethel - A neighborhood that almost completely devastated. We met with the volunteers that were there that were proving supplies to those families still there and cooking hot meals for them also. We unloaded some of the supplies then held a briefing where volunteers expressed their gratitude for the supplies that we had provided them.
#3 Drop Location– Crossroads Mall - We dropped the remainder of the supplies which was a location that was being operated by the Red Cross for relief supplies. The volunteers then met with us and expressed their gratitude for the supplies that we delivered.
This mission was carried out flawlessly thanks to Kevin Cody of the Oklahoma PGR who escorted us all to all of our drop locations. Seeing the gratitude of all of the volunteers and the families that we had contact with today made me proud to be a part of such a great organization with an awesome family of members that selflessly donated their time and effort to assist our neighbors in their time of need.

Oklahoma Relief Mission: 2Jun13
Even after seeing the devastation first hand, it is hard to imagine the terror and suffering the victims of the recent Oklahoma tornados are living through. With the help of the Oklahoma PGR, three drop sites for relief goods were identified.
#1 - A family business converted into and receiving/ locations for victims to be able pick up supplies they need. After the PGR unloaded a portion of the relief supplies, the family gathered the riders together and told everyone what you did today made a difference.
#2 - A residential neighborhood almost totally blown away. Very little, if any, structure left standing. A relief effort to provide hot meals and supplies was established by volunteers the day after the tornado. After the PGR unloaded a portion of the relief supplies, the volunteers and on site victims gathered the riders together and told everyone what you did today made a difference.
#3 – A vacant warehouse set up as the primary Red Cross receiving/distribution facility for relief supplies. After the PGR unloaded the remainder of the supplies, the volunteers gathered the riders together and told everyone what you did today made a difference.
What you did today, and every day, touches people’s lives. I am proud of each of you and “YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE”.
