It is with a very heavy heart to announce the passing of a truly great American Hero. Our Hero, our Friend, our Mentor passed away this afternoon after being involved in a motorcycle accident. Bill"Snap"Lines was truly one of the finest Americans who ever graced this earth, and stood for all that stood for us. Snap was returning from a mission in Georgia when he was involved in a motorcycle accident, and now he shall forever soar with eagles. The passing of this Hero will be forever etched in the memory of all whoever met him, his smile, his grace, and a simple Thank You. Snap never met a stranger, and never hesitated to Welcome a brother Vietnam Vet Home. He will surely be missed by everyone, but we will always remember Him for his quest to make the PGR what it is today.

Snap was a highly decorated Warrior, serving in Vietnam from April 1967 to July 1968 with the Big Red 1. Snap extended his tour so that he could return home with his long time friend Dusty. Snap also had a brother who did not return home from Vietnam, and this was the reason Snap chose to fight for his country. SSG Lines Earned The Distinguished Service Cross for his Distinguished and Gallant Bravery in Vietnam. Snap was also the recipient of 5 Bronze Stars (ALL with V for Valor), 2 Purple Hearts, 2 Army Commendation Medals, The Combat Infantryman Badge. Airborne Jump Wings, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and Numerous other Awards. Snap was also put in for the Congressional Medal of Honor. As you can see our friend was truly an American Hero.
