I thought we did this a mo. ago but if someone is counting it's in my sig. I would like to ride to the Memorial but not going accross country unless in airplane. Nothing between here and PA., no offense to the Plain States. I've done it several times in a car and even did the southern route and can't see doing it on the bike.

Hey you know how they got rid of the rat and cockroach problems on US Navy ships?
They issued them Federal Stock Numbers.
Now they can't be found anywhere.

Well, I started this thread awhile back, and I'm amazed at the number off Vets we have. I would say we are the majority. It's interesting to hear the places and services you were all in. Anytime you guys get tired of replying we can sign off. I still monitor it though. There's strength in numbers! Proud to be a Veteran!
