PGR-What is going on?
#11
All those pins and patches purchased by the members created a profit of over $145.000.00 in 2007 of which over $140,000.00 was donated to Wounded Veterans or Gold Star Families in need.
Many say the trademark battle is about money, and to some extent thats true. The PGR uses the money to the benefit of families and Veterans, and is accountable....the opposer uses it, for whatever he deems is important, and is accountable to no one.

PGR is a Federally recognized 501c3 not for profit organization. Because of this, the organization is required by law to post all the financial information, which it does on the PGR website.
There are probably only 2 people who can explain the motivation of the opposer to challenge the trademark application, and that would be himself, or his banker.
Respects,

I think like you Bigmack46,
All the pins, armbands and little dog tags are for those that seem to seek some sort of credit for showing respect. I don't go to these missions for me, I go for the soldier. JMO
If they want to fight over trademarks, let them, I don't have a dog in that fight.

A friend and me were talking yesterday about this and I basically told him the same thing. It's about honoring the fallen, that's the bottom line. ***** all the political, money oriented bull****. Happens to many once good organizations. It's a shame it's happening to this one.

I was one of those that was extremely upset when I learned how Twister had that store set up. My wife and I bought flags, armbands, windshield banner, etc., because we thought the money was going to the PGR and for good causes. When we found out that it was lining Twister's pocket and he gave back what he wanted, well, there were some unpleasant thoughts on this end. Hopefully, he does not get control of the logo legally.

i dont know much about PGR... But i have seen them in action delivering a soldier home this past year to my home town. there was a huge parade for him and he was being escorted by PGR, i assume, 30-40 Harleys with flags flying. This is a sight ill never forget. i just hope this doesnt mean somepeople are loosing sight of the GOAL! Keep up the good work folks!
