You all know who I am by now.
I was banging away in my windowless cell (my shop) that has filtered air and no noise from the outside and the mailman banged on the door and handed me an unexpected package. I opened it up and it contained this (see below) from a client of mine. He had the time to think of me and it hit me like a ton of bricks; we all might not think of them enough. We are all comfortable running on the wheel of life, preoccupied by what we are doing in our own lives.

I would like to take a moment to remind ourselves to think about our men and women around the world including our allies such as those from (see below). Ya, they all got families and all want to be someplace else but they are all slugging it out in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the word in places that we have never even heard of. Let us take a moment of our time and think about them for a while. I proclaim that we do not need a designated holiday to honor our service people, our protectors of our “civilized” life. I you have the opportunity when meeting a veteran, think about their sacrifice when you need to hire an employee or as simple as an act of kindness. There is no veteran I know of who wants thanks but if you have the chance show them an act of kindness than use your common sense, they earned & deserve it.

Being in the business I am in, I have had interaction in almost of the following countries below and there are people riding Harley there and doing the same thing we do here. Egypt & Jordan have Harley riders the same as us in the USA. When you look at a person who is dressed in ethnic clothing, they just may have a son or daughter who is serving right next to our own and maybe he or she has a leather hanging in the closet. In closing, I wish to remind all that “Bikers is Bikers” no matter where they live, be good to each other.

Remember those who are there, not only our neighbor. All are helping by serving, not just the USA.
