Petition closed today

The Petition closed today. It went out to the Patriot Guard Board of Directors and the National Director of Operations. Six people. The family of Ted Frosty Foster thanks each and every one of you for the support you have shown our family during this trying time.

The voice of hundreds (over 400) should be sufficient for the Board of Directors to consider their actions might need review but so far they have failed to act responsibly so who knows what may come of your effort and ours.

What follows is the cover letter attached to the petition.

The petition itself including the updates posted to it is located on this page under the tab Petition.

Attention: Patriot Guard Riders National Board of Directors

RE: Termination of Ted Frosty Foster

We respectfully submit this petition with over 400 signatures for your review. We, the signers of this petition believe the Board of Directors should review the case of Ted Frosty Foster, a Vietnam Veteran and long term Patriot Guard Rider in good standing who was terminated May 2014 without benefit of due process.

It is our understanding the Board of Directors acted without regard for protocol as called for in Patriot Guard Code of Conduct for terminating a member. As a result of that disregard, we believe the process by which this member was terminated compromised the integrity of the entire proceeding.

It is our belief that the Patriot Guard Board of Directors must adhere to the same set of rules as the membership.

Foster presented his side of the matter. Documented evidence presented by Foster to refute all allegations as nothing but lies and slander is both convincing and compelling. The reluctance on the part of Patriot Guard Board of Directors to acknowledge and comply with Foster’s demands for full disclosure of the particulars especially as concerns the “termination stands” ruling is disturbing and makes the intent and circumstances surrounding the proceedings suspect.

Foster faithfully served both his country and the Patriot Guard organization with dedication and honor. In this great country which he served in times of peril the law states a man is innocent until proven otherwise. That should serve as a reminder that even the Patriot Guard Board of Directors must adhere to the law of the land if not the bylaws of the organization.

We, the signers of this petition request the Board of Directors give Foster fair and unbiased treatment. If the termination stands then Foster deserves to know the particulars which refute his truth. To do otherwise damages the credibility of the BoD decision makers as well as the integrity of the PGR organization beyond repair. That equates to irresponsible leadership and that is unacceptable.

We, the signers of this petition (many of us Patriot Guard Riders in good standing) demand that Foster receive fair treatment and that the Board of Directors act both responsibly and without bias.

Furthermore, should the Board of Directors find that Foster is the victim of unfair treatment as is glaringly apparent at this juncture; we demand the Board of Directors hold those responsible for defaming the character of this veteran immediately and irrevocably accountable.

Please be advised the membership and the general public are paying close attention: The action of the Board of Directors in this matter will, without a doubt, determine how well the organization expands its membership and functions in the future.

Do your job! Do the right thing!

Respectfully,

Signers of the Petition Demanding Fairness and Justice for Vietnam Veteran Fired By the PGR
