UPDATE and REVIEW: Just over two months ago 78 year old USAF Vietnam Bronze Star Veteran Ted Frosty Foster rode in from an extremely successful mission honoring WWII Veterans. When he checked his inbox he found a membership termination notice from Patriot Guard BoD based on nothing but falsehoods promoted by state/regional leadership with a foundation in local leadership who suffer from mission envy and other delusions.
This termination was not preceded by notice or review as called for in the PGR Code of Conduct protocol. The termination notice contained no particulars. When advised of the breach of protocol (apparently most of the BoD believe they are above adhering to the PGR code of conduct) the VP/Members agreed to conduct a hindsight review. Upon delivery of a vague set of allegations (we call them manufactured mendacity), Foster answered all of them with documented proof and corroborative statements proving they were/are all false. He answered them with a cc to each individual of the five man BoD and director of operations... not one email bounced.
Astoundingly, after repeated calls for resolution, the PGR BoD arbitrarily says the termination stands because they did not like the tone of Foster and a few of his friends - that's right - tone. After repeated demands for the particulars of why the termination stands the BoD to this day refuses to furnish the particulars. Not only that, but local/state/regional leadership (I use that term loosely) who know the truth of the matter stand unified and complicit in what can only be termed despicable mob character assassination.
That's why we are here. Stamping your pussy foot and crying "because I said so" is not going to cut it in the real world ladies and gentlemen of what appears to be an entirely dysfunctional PGR leadership.
Ted Frosty Foster faithfully and tirelessly served and promoted the PGR for over seven years, successfully completing somewhere around 400 missions, many of them as a beloved and respected ride captain - without a single complaint.
For those who believe that silence is an answer. We are here to say it is not. Silence, while provocative is hardly convincing. I can only assume legal counsel has told you to shut up. You have attempted to trash a good man's reputation to serve your own selfish egos. Please be advised - it has not worked out that way. Ted Frosty Foster has weathered your storm and much to your dismay I am sure - is carrying on and because he is who he is your egos and self esteem suffer all the more. Why? Because he serves the mission and not the patch.
The only damage here is the image of Patriot Guard leadership and your personal reputations. You may think you have gotten away with libel and slander but the truth is as long as I (Frosty's Dissident Daughter) can type a single letter - you will not spend a single day free of this nonsense.
Nothing will serve you or the PGR now except:
Own the disgrace.
Reinstate Foster to valid PGR member in good standing.
Issue public apology.
Turn in your hats.
You have failed a Veteran. You have failed the organization.
The Patriot Guard Riders is better than this. They deserve better leadership.
