Memorial services were held yesterday for Amanda Doss and her two children, son, Texas (8) and daughter, Guinivere (11) in Texarkana. Amanda and her children were killed earlier this month in a tragic house fire. According to KTBS news "The children's grandparents, who live nearby, saw the house on fire and tried to rescue them, authorities said. They got the little girl out but she died at the scene. The other two victims died in the house. Both grandparents suffered burns...The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Texas Rangers are investigating." Arson is suspected and injuries were reported as consistent with murder. There is a $28,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of their killer. See the video report on KTBS news.
The Patriot Guard were at the memorial services to honor and remember their fallen hero and her children. Amanda worked closely with the group and helped design their first web site. She proudly rode in many processions with the Texarkana PGR to honor other fallen heros, and it is apt that the Patriot Guard was there for her and her family. Doss and her children will be laid to rest in Oklahoma, and the Patriot Guard will escort the bodies. Funeral services are scheduled for 2:00 PM, Monday, May 23, 2011 at Hayhurst Funeral Home Chapel in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Burial will follow at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Broken Arrow under the direction of Hayhurst Funeral Home.

Patriot Guard Riders Mission Statement (from the official PGR website)
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for Americas freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We dont care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether youre a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where youre from or what your income is; you dont even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.
Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. "The important to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our thoughts. Considering and expending our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel costs!..". Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:
- Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
- Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.
Riding with the Patriot Guard is a humbling experience and can mean so much to the families of the fallen. I know. I've ridden with this group on several ocassions and it never fails to touch my heart. To join the Patriot Guard, log on to the official web site. Anyone can join, and it is free.
