Auto Show a Success
Thanks to all of you who came out to see us at the 2012 Harrisburg Auto Show last week. We had a great time meeting so many, and your support of Operation Give-Back was outstanding.
Thanks also to the members who gave so much time to be there and represent the GKMC so well. Everyone had a great time and it's likely that there will be stories from that week that will live on for some time to come.

2011 Operation SOS Cookie Drive
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."
SFC Perkins - FOB Garry Owen - Iraq
"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!
