From Patriot Guard Riders of Nevada
My last ride on Earth…..As I lay here waiting for my last ride from here to the cemetery, I look around, no family or friends. No one weeps for me, no one says good-bye. My last few years were in a nursing home. I’ve outlived most of my friends and family. The ones that are still alive are too old to make it out. So now I am all alone with no one.
As they carry me out to the hearse I hear someone yell,” Patriot Guard, ATTEN HUT!,,,, PRESENT ARMS!” Who are all these men and women in black leather jackets, vests and gloves? Why do they salute ME? I am no Hero; all I did was serve my country while in the Military. I’m just another American soldier who did my part.
Now I hear Motorcycles, I see flags flying as they escort me. As they carry me to my final resting place, these people stand in the cold and the rain with flags at their sides. I hear the Military honor squad with a three volley gun salute, and then a bugle sounds Taps.
Silent prayers are being said, yet I hear every one. I see tears running down their faces as they tell me Good-bye. I am not alone; I have friends and family with me, My Patriot Guard Family
Proud to be a very small part of this great group of patriots.
