Veteran's Day
11/11/11 at 04:11:36

For those who are serving now, I thank you.
For those who have served in the past, I thank you.
For those that I had the honor to serve with, thanks for the memories.
And for those of you that did not come back.. I think I will go riding and enjoy the freedom that you paid so dearly for.. I can never thank you enough.
See you on the road my friends..

Today, we get to help give a little back to those that paid. Riding with the PGR: Homes For Our Troops to assist with escorting and standing for three Wounded Warriors during their key ceremonies.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

My grandfather was a dispatch rider in WWI. He was also a commercial artist and he did a series of 12 illustrations about his experiences. I chose this one because it best shows the technology of the era. BTW you had to supply your own bike. It was a Royal Enfield, probably a 500 circa 1914 or '15. The man in the pic is my grandfather. If you are interested i will post more.

I am a vet. I was in need & I joined, After I finished growing up & took a good look around, I dont see our military Defending us. All I see is our military sent off on misadventures, getting killed & wounded, for nothing, the explanation would take days to type, my concept of reality doesnt exactly Fit with most peoples. But, we were Lied into Nam, we were Lied into Iraq & we had no business in A/stan, nor have we any in Iran, But we will be there,,
OUr military is being used by the globalists, just like a mafia don uses his thugs to stomp on people he wants stomped on,, Sorry if being told that that pisses you off,, it cant piss you off any more being told it than knowing it pisses me off..

Hate the wars, but honor the Vets.

Honor them for what? For being sent off to accomplish what is bad for the world? Im sorry for them, Im sorry for us, Im sorry that the masses are unable to see whats happening, I dont disrespect them,, theyre just doing what there told, but for me to THANK them would mean I believe they DID something WE, the American people, Needed done.. & I dont agree,, I never thank a vet, & if someone thanks me, I try to explain to them I am due no thanks, I volunteered while we were in Nam, It wasnt impossible for me to go, or at least thats what I was told when I signed up,, but how did anyone who went to Nam actually help America? Name a war where the soldiers actually protected America? WWII? Thats the last one I can think of,
