Patriot Guard

[wildman for God]

I just got back from the memorial for Pvt. Tinnell in Lake Havasu. This was the most
darmatic thing I've ever been a part of. We met at the American Leigon. There must have been around 200 bikes and trikes. 3x5 flags were passed out to those without and afixed to their bikes. We rode to the site of the service as a procession with traffic stopped for us. After the service we rode behind the family from south havasu to north havasu for the cemetery. That long ride was an average speed of 10mph with traffic stopped in every dirrection.The people in traffic were out of there vehicles either saluting or with their hands over their chest.At every intersection the police officers held their salute till every flag passed. The whole time I fought back the tears.I thank God for each and every one of these men and women for giving there all for me.

Yesterday the Illinois PGR rode to Woodlawn, IL for the first annual memorial run for Lcpl Kyle Price. Kyle never was able to see his baby daughter on this earth, but he is looking down on her now. The family and PGR riders then proceeded almost 60 miles to the Blessing of the Bikes at Bald Knob Cross in Alto Pass. We held a special prayer for Kyle new daughter and the family. There wasn't a dry eye anywhere. There were almost 100 bikes in the procession...through rain and storms they rode...some from Chicago.

These men and women are truly showing the honor and respect that our servicemen and servicewomen deserve...even before they pass on.

Thanks go out to Patriot Guard Riders.

Hey guys I'm looking for info on the Patriot Guard. I'm stationed in Alaska right now but I'm due to head back to the lower 48 in a year and a half and would love to ride with these guys to show solidarity.
