Hello! My name is LTC William A. McCaskill. I am a wounded warrior at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) located at Fort Sam Houston. On May 22nd five buses will depart BAMC at 6:45 a.m. headed down 87 South to Victoria and on to Port O’Connor. The buses will contain 300 wounded warriors and family members bound for a day of fishing in Port O’Connor, an event known as Warrior’s Weekend http://web.mac.com/warriorsweekend/Warriors_Weekend/Home.html

The buses will be escorted by the San Antonio Chapter of the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club http://www.blueknightstxiv.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx , Wilson County Deputies courtesy of Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt, Jr., La Vernia Police Officers courtesy of Chief Bobby Hyatt, as well as Constable George Scoggins, Fire Marshal Curtis R. Fowler of Stockdale. The convoy will be coming through La Vernia between 7:00 and 7:15 and Stockdale between 7:15 and 7:30.

I wanted to see if there would be any interest in having Girl and Boy Scout Troops along the 87 South route to wave American flags or posters the morning of the 22nd as the buses travel through the respective communities.

Thank you!

LTC William A. McCaskill
