Homecoming for Troops

Saw this from a email newsletter and wanted to pass it on to anyone who
would like to do something heart warming for the troops this weekend. It'll
be at the DFW airport (Dallas / Fort Worth area).

Greeting Homecoming Troops @ DFW Airport
(for riders and nonriders)

Thought you might want to know and pass along.

Need a big group to greet the troops coming home on July 3 in the AM. There
are supposed to be 280 men and women coming in. If you can attend it would
be appreciated. Just FYI Texas Wide Riders are a group of sport bike
enthusiasts that are all over the state.

OPERATION R&R
BROUGHT TO YOU BY TEXAS WIDE RIDERS* AND THE USO*

WE INVITE YOU TO COME OUT TO DFW AIRPORT ON JULY THE 3RD TERMINAL B
GATE 39 BETWEEN 8 AND NOON. FREE BBQ AND LIVE BAND (AARON HOLT)*.
BRING YOUR BIKES TO GREET THE SOLDIERS COMING HOME FROM IRAQ FOR 2 WEEKS OF
R&R.

YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD TO THESE TROOPS. PARKING WILL BE FREE for
motorcycles. ALL YOU NEED TO BRING IS YOUR SUPPORT.

THE USO ACCEPTS DONATIONS FOR THE TROOPS THAT COME IN EVERYDAY. LET THE

The reception area is very accessible, thanks to DFW Airport, and anyone
wanting to come welcome the troops can participate. You can park right
across from our gate, in the 1-hour parking with no worry about the time
limit when you're greeting troops! Just go to Gate B39 - It says
'International Arrivals' and there are flags above our door. Your parking is
free as you are given parking passes. To find out the time of the flight
arrival, just check the recorded message at 972-574-0392...just be sure to
check it a couple of times on the morning you are coming because the times
often change.

IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTION OR CONCERNS FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ROBERT BRIDGES
214-232-2631 or JANET MA 214-577-4991.

BBQ DONATED BY LONGHORNS IN CEDAR HILL. DONATIONS PROVIDED BY Matheson
Tri-Gas ANDREWS LOGISTICS.

 

Need to update this. Several things got nixed by the DFW airport.

No live band, that got nixed.

You can park in the 1 hour area (no time limit), but now parking will not be
free.

The idea now is that when the troops come out of the terminal that all the
motorcycles will be reving their engines as a salute to our troops.

Please remember we will be in a non secured area, but no firearms are
allowed, the leatherman type tool device will be ok.

Remember this is for those troops coming back home.
