Veterans Day - 11-11-11

[bruiser]

My parents had three of us kids serving at the same time. My oldest brother, now deceased, was in the Army Reserve, my older brother was Army and was in Viet Nam while I was in AF basic. I was in Viet Nam in '72. Later on my youngest brother was in the Navy. I keep telling Bruisersbaby I want to go back to the sandbox, but for some reason she won't let me. To all our vets and those currently serving, my heartfelt salute and thank you. To my brothers and sisters who served in 'Nam, welcome home

[Mr. White]

Hats off to all who served. I joined the USAF in March,1952, retired in April, 1981. Korean War and Vietnam and many other countries in between. We live in the BEST!! Let's keep it that way. (My Father was in WW1, my Grandfather was in the Spanish American War)

If i could shake EVERY persons hand from the armed forces I would . This includes past and present and future . Just because I didnt join and do my part I can respect and apprecaite what EVERY single one of them has done and will do . From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU .

It does my heart good to see my fellow Spyderlovers show their patriotism and express their support for our men and women in uniform. When I read Smokinspyder’s post I smiled because I feel the same way. If it was possible to shake the hand of every service member and thank them in person I would do it. We all know that is not possible. What is possible though is to shake the hand of as many people who defend our freedom as you can.

As many of the Spyderlovers in Pennsylvania know, I am a member of the Warriors’ Watch Riders. This is an organization that supports our troops with Welcome Home, Send Off and Honor motorcycle escorts. I have been the Ride Captain of over 25 missions. Every one of those missions I have been on my Spyder.

I also saw the original post from ruthie:

Tomorrow is the day we honor our Veterans but let also remember those that is servicing our country right now. Fly our flags and give a big thank you to any military person you see. These are the people that has and is keeping our country free. and I will be riding in the Veterans Day Parade tomorrow.
Thank you to my hubby, all the veterans and active duty military guys and gals.

I will also be in a Veterans Day Parade of sorts this weekend. On 11/13/11 I will be the Ride Captain for a Send Off escort of the 378^th Army Reserve Combat Sustainment Support Unit as they leave for a one year deployment to Afghanistan.

I welcome all North East Coast Spyderlovers to join us at the rally point for this mission:

Primary Rally Point: Mooses LZ, 211 Fisher Ave., Jonestown, PA 17038
Rally Time: 8:00 am
Departing: 8:30 am

It will be a 30 mile escort from the Rally to the destination.

If you want to shake the hand of a hero this is the time and place to do it.

Thanks to Lamont for his support of the WWR Mission.

Bruiser served in the US Air Force from 1969-1989. During that time, he served in Viet Nam and other bases. My Dad served in WWII on the U.S.S. Hornet. I served in the Army Reserve from 1977-1980. We are proud to have served our country and thank all of the veterans and active-duty for continuing to keep our country free. For our Viet Nam vets, we say, 'welcome home, brother/sister'.

From Grandpa in WW II to Dad in Vietnam, to me from '94-'05 along with both of my brothers, I have a deep appreciation for our fighting men and women. God Bless them and show our gratitude to Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors who have served both past and present.

HOOAH!!
