Guardian Knights Escort Another Hero Home
The Guardian Knights were proud and honored to be able to escort home a local hero. Marine CPL Brian Riddle was injured by a mortar round while on patrol in Afghanistan a few weeks ago. Brian also a member of the Progress Fire Company 32, received his second purple heart in a ceremony at Walter Reed Military Hospital on 5/1/2012 and was released to return home the next day. Upon learning of his imminent release, his brothers and sisters of the Progess Fire Company decided to set up a fitting welcome home.
With less than 24 hours to put this event together, they turned to the Guardian Knights for help in securing a motorcycle escort from the PA/MD state line, back to Harrisburg. Upon receiving the request, the wheels were set into motion and by that morning about 24 riders were on board and ready to provide the escort. The riders met Brian along Rt. 15 just north of the state line and were proud to act as his escort for the rest of his journey home. Aided by local police and fire departments, he was brought unimpeded back to his home and family here in Harrisburg in a Limousine provided by Unique Limousine of Harrisburg.
The group comprised largely of Guardian Knights along with Red Knights, Legion Riders and fellow Progess Fire Company members were met by Fire Apparatus from around the Harrisburg Area as they exited the highway and took Brian on a parade tour of the Progress area, ending with a welcome home celebration at the Progress Fire Hall.
Thank you to all who sacrificed to make this possible on a Wednesday in the middle of most people's work week. Your efforts were deeply appreciated by Brian and his family.
Thank you to all who donated goodies or participated in any way! We had another successful shipment and they all hit the mail Fri 11/18. A special thank you to the ladies of Zion Lutheran Church who came out last Sunday and held a big baking party to supply us with hundreds and hundreds of cookies. It is only through the generousity of the community that we are able to do these things and receive such praise. It is not we who deserve the praise but those who serve for us and the members of our community whose donations make any of this possible. Thank you also to ABC27 for covering our event. We must also thank Susquehanna Valley Harley-Davidson who has been with us from the start with Operation SOS. Without their help we could not do nearly as much as we have.
Heres the Report from ABC27
Here is a few responses from past shipments.
"Guys we just received the boxes last night on a CH-47, I wanted to tell you thanks from the Outlaw Refuel team at Garry Owen. You guys are F$%^ing amazing. My god the cookies were so fresh and so damn good, I wish I could make you guys understand how that made us feel. Please pass this on."

"Thanks for the great package of home-made cookies and candy and that really nice Harley Calendar. I've been sharing the cookies and everybody has complimented them." SMSGT Godin - Kandahar Afghanistan
"I received the packages you sent. "Thank You" for your kindness and generosity. I will share the items with all the Airmen here at my location. I'm sure that they will enjoy them. We have a MWR tent I will put them in there for all to partake. Please pass on my "Thanks" to all the wonderful bakers that took the time to prepare the great baked goods. I've been trying to lose some weight here but I can't walk past homemade cookies without having few, they are great!!!! I know I can speak for all our Airmen at other locations and say "Thank You" for them also. I'm sure they are enjoying them too." CM Sgt Flick - Basra Iraq

All donations made should be tax deductible to the donor. Operation SOS The Guardian Knights MC has mounted a campaign to provide needed/wanted items to our PA troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Named Operation SOS (support our soldiers), the Campaign kicked off in 2008 and includes collecting donations at various local events throughout the riding season and culminating in our Operation SOS ride in August of each year. You can view photos/videos of our past rides on our Gallery page. Operation SOS has been able to provide support to hundreds of PA National Guard and Reserve Troops over the past several years
To date nearly $12,000 has been raised and spent to assist in this cause. We are currently servicing over 100 individual soldiers and marines and are looking forward to continuing to do so for as long as necessary.
All proceeds are used to purchase and ship requested items and letters to our troops on the ground. Our mission is to provide a touch of home to these home-town troops while they are away from us and their families. Operation SOS is an ongoing project of the Guardian Knights MC and will continue as long as there is community support and PA Troops in harms way.
Check out the video of some of the SOS packages being distributed in Iraq. This is what it's really all about!
