Veteran's ashes carried to Arlington National Cemetary on an F3

[Pampurrs]

This morning I was on a Patriot Guard Riders mission here in Phoenix, where we held a flagline for a group of riders with MIAP (http://www.miap.us) who are heading to Arlington National cemetary to inter the ashes of six veterans ( two from Arizona) who had gone unclaimed by their families. One of the riders had the ashes of a Navy veteran in the frunk of his Spyder F3, and was carrying her to her final resting place. With respect for her, I didn't take a picture.

All six veterans will receive military honors at Arlington.

I'm proud to be a veteran, honored to be a part of the Patriot Guard Riders, and happy to be a supporter and advocate for the Missing in America Project. I was extremely pleased to see a Spyder rider involved in this important mission to ensure that those who gave their lives for our freedom are given the honors they deserve.

Here's a video clip from this morning's news. You can see the box with the ashes in the frunk of the Spyder. If you look carefully, as the camera pans the flagline, you can see me. I'm the blonde with the red shirt and the black cap.

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETARY

I had the opportunity to visit Wash. DC a week ago. The main places i wanted to visit was the Arlington Nat. Cemetary in Virgina and it is a place i will never forget. Makes you fill proud to be an American and also let you know freedom is not free, and you respect that. Also got a chance to see the changing of the guard. The sacrifices our service men and women make, is heartfelt. MAMY MANY THANKS AND LOVE TO OUR SOLDIERS THAT PROTECTS OUR FREEDOM!!! ray:ray: :2thumbs:
