Puddles, I wish I could have seen it in person. It was nice meeting you and I want to see pics when you give it to him to mount on his bike. Being a vet I know that is something that he will cherish forever! Good job Mom!

It was so cool to meet everyone. Had several chuckles... I do believe that rollntiger even blushed once....

I look forward to getting together with those that I met this weekend, and meeting more.

God bless all you fathers and mothers who have sons and daughters serving our country. I know from experience ( daughter in the Navy, son in the Army, special forces) that this time can be very hard on the loved ones at home. Just keep the faith! Why not call the Patriot Guard for a "welcome home" ride to meet them when they come home.
