Patriot Guard Riders leave nothing to chance



2011-10-02 - Blue Raider Stadium, 820 Hanley Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
An Advance Party of five Patriot Guard Riders made meticulous preparations on Saturday, October 1, 2011, for the unit's escort of Adair County native Sgt. Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor Recipient, to the Adair County Salutes Dakota Meyer event at Blue Raider Stadium today, Sunday, October 2, 2011. They are, from left Tom Folsom, Hardin Co., KY; James Keown, Bowling Green, KY; Joe Hare, Columbia, KY; Shawn O'Keefe, Bowling Green, KY; and Bobby Castle, Elizabethtown, KY. The Patriot Guard will stage at Adair County High School, proceed to the start point of the rolling procession at Adair Veterans Memorial Highway and Campbellsville Road for the southbound route around the Historic Adair County Courthouse - which will have added significance after today - up Jamestown Hill, and east on Russell Road to the Robert L. Miller Drive entrance to Blue Raider Stadium. In all, the PGR expects at least 150 riders up to 400 or more. "Columbia has never seen anything like this," Joe Hare said.

Adair Co. Salutes Dakota Meyer: Sheena London, David England



2011-10-02 - Robert L. Miller DR, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Sheena London, a member of the residence hall staff at Lindsey Wilson College, is in charge of traffic control at the Robert L. Miller Drive entrance to Blue Raider Stadium. She's pictured with David England, Winchester, KY, who was in Columbia with one of the earliest waves Patriot Guard Riders (PGR), helping line the procession path along which Adair County native Dakota Meyer, Congressional Medal of Honor winner will ride. London, from Hiseville, KY, is a graduate of Lindsey Wilson College. England said that he expects as many as 400 riders today. The number is growing in part because of the absolutely perfect October 2, 2011 Day. Parking for dignitaries and others taking part in the ceremony will take much of the Miller Park capacity, but clearly marked empty lots along Russell Road and Jamestown Street are available for the overflow, and shuttle busses will be carrying spectators to Blue Raider Stadium, 820 Hanley Lane, for the 2pmCT main ceremonies.
