Memorial Day

Just a note to say thank you to all the Veterans out there. Because of your sacrifices we have the freedom and liberty we all so enjoy. I am riding up to D.C. tomorrow with Rolling Thunder as a show of support for the POW-MIA issue. I won't be on here again until next Tuesday so to everyone, have a great holiday and remember, "all gave some and some gave all". Again, thank you Veterans.

I think as time goes on, more and more are forgetting. That is really a shame. Some don't know how good they got it or why they got it that good. Thanks to all.

Thank Goodness, some will NEVER forget.
