Its Sunday night and I have a few things to say about the crap that certain people in the Minnesota Metro sectors continue to pull. I cant call them Patriot Guard members because I understand they asked to have their names removed from the roster. Jerry Grundhauser and Holly Frost.. park your bikes with everybody else. You arent special and the drama you continue to promote does nothing but hurt. If you want to be noticed as special... well you are. Special enough to care more about yourself than the Mission. Kathy and Rod (and everybody else)... sign your names on the waiver. Not the silly name games you are playing. Your signing of that signifies you are invited guest. If you dont put your name down you are an uninvited guess and should be removed. I am so sad to see what these few people do to the values of a nationwide organization that has stood so tall in the past for the fallen. The petty gamesmanship you continue to display are only more reason to not have you in leadership. Ever. Again. I hope and pray every day you dont wear people down enough to get your way. Two more Ride Captains have left becuase they tired of your bullshit. People who, like the rest of us, gave of their own time without even the expectation of a thank you. Because they are Patriots and believed strongly in the Mission. If you ever see Lon Rambler Hellerud or Angela Hellerud again you need to look at the ground and say you are sorry and walk away. For the rest of crowd that counts every Mission they attend as a star on their paper at school you should think twice before making comments at Missions about how things are going. You either were part of leadership and retired, or werent qualified to begin with, and you should shut the hell up with your opinions. They dont help and now have hurt even more with two more ride captains gone. Some day soon there will be a Mission turned down because they dont have a ride captain available. Instead of gloating and yapping about it you should go home and look in the mirror and reflect on your role in it and how you caused it. This will be your fault. The many Missions we have are Monday through Friday and during the work day. I cant go. I am not retired and wont be for a long time. Im glad there are great people who can, or see a Mission on a vacation day, and decide to go. I have been at Missions that numbered in the hundreds and as small as 4. The families value anybody giving of their time. If the troublemakers want to make a point and not go... so be it and we will be better for it and celebrate it. 2 people with a flag for the right reasons are waaaay better than 30 with bad intentions. None of us, and especially myself, are perfect. Anybody in leadership has made mistakes. Good ones own up to it and work hard to be better. Bad leaders sit off to the side and gossip about the people willing to try to do good. I was not asked to do this.. and probably will be asked by MNPG leadership to remove this post. I hope before that somebody will forward this to Jerry and his band because they wont stay friends with me on Facebook. Im mad.... I put years in this organization through the darkest of times and now I hear about these petty and small minded people trying to tear it down. Shame on you.....
