Riding with the Wall
Today I made another one of those memorable rides. I rode with about 700 or so other bikers to escort a replica of the Viet Nam Memorial from Nashville to Dickson. It would be an understatement to call this a moving experience. The sight of all those bikes rolling together is just breathtaking.
It was nice to see all the patriotism along the way. The sight of citizens waving our country’s flag on overpasses and along the highway was amazing. I hope the soldiers serving in foreign lands as well as here at home will be able to see that the people of this country are worth fighting for. Furthermore I hope the sight of all those bikes riding in honor of all the men and women who’s names are on that wall will comfort their loved ones.
A few weeks ago I was honored to escort the funeral of the father of a boyhood friend. The Patriot Guard brought us back together. I hadn’t seen him in years though I’ve thought of him often. I didn’t even know he was riding motorcycles now. Today I was honored to ride with him in honor of our fallen heroes from The Viet Nam War. Words cannot express the emotions running through my mind.

Now that is a ride. Seen the wall but didn't get to ride with it. That is an honor.
