All: I'm currently in the studio working on a new song that is a tribute to the PGR, and I'm looking for moving and powerful high-quality images and video of PGR missions for the music video. The song is called "Not Today", and I've included the lyrics below to get an idea of the visuals we're looking for. If you have some to share, contact me at richowenmusic@yahoo.com . Thanks.
Verse 1:
It’s a bad day; and they tell her it that it just got worse
As she stands there waiting nervously beside the hearse
While across the street they stand with signs and shout a curse
And her heart weeps
Suddenly, she hears a rising sound approach
They crest the hill; those iron horses bring her hope
That her soldier’s last ride won’t turn into a joke
And the thunder peaks
They come from every walk of like, but find common ground
For the dignity of a patriot, they’ll always be around
Chorus:
The voice of hate just can’t compete
With two hundred Harley’s on the street
See them rolling up, side by side
In a solid wall, Ol’ Glory waves
To shield a fallen hero’s grave
And the loved ones, (1) gathered/ (2) standing / (3) grieving there beside
Evil may yet still have its way
But the Patriot Guard is here to say…
Not today
Verse 2:
Some ride three hundred miles just to do their part
In making sure those families are kept apart
From those who seek to benefit from their broken hearts
They’re the Patriot Guard
They never ask for nothing when they answer the call
Chopper-riding musketeers; all for one and one for all
Repeat Chorus
Not today…
Repeat Chorus
Not today…NOT TODAY!

In addition to posting your request here, I would post it over on the National site as well.

Thanks, Paul. Yes, the music is written and the studio out in Nashville is working on the background track. It's gonna be amazing, if they do their usual outstanding work. I also contacted the NRA Life of Duty internet TV site, as they did a special on PGR with some video that would be spot on for what we have in mind; unfortunately, after two messages I've yet to hear back from them. I'll definitely get this out on the national PGR site.

Kikinman: There were some good shots in that video of SPC Kirton. Do you know how I can get ahold of the raw footage?
