Being a truck driver I see a lot of things that make me wonder what people are thinking.

Today traveling down I-495 through Washinton DC. Traffic slowed drastically, in the center lane I saw a long procession of motorcycles. As I approached the procession I could see their four ways were on and every bike had a US flag or Marine corps flag. As I got further up the procession I realized the Patriot Guard Riders were esccorting a fallen hero home.

I just wanna say it was an awesome sight to behold and it gave me mixed emotions. I did give my salute to the fallen hero with a blast of my air horn.

To all the PGR :salute


Thank god for the Patriot Guards.  That jack ass, amazinhunk Fred Philis dose nothing but spit...no piss on any fallen soldier.  To bad his arrogant dose not realized that his freedom of speech is being protected from each fallen soldier.

I go to this point and wondered what would be so unusual about traffic stopping drastically for no particular reason on the Capitol Parking Lot.

It's reassuring to see our men and women in uniform, living and deceased, getting the respect they deserve.  :salute

On Tuesday when I was at my friends grandfather's funeral, they had the Patriot Guard there as well. Was an awesome sight, they stood out in the pouring rain for over 45 minutes and then led the 3 mile long convoy of people in their cars and trucks from Georgetown to the Veterans Cemetery at Ft. Hood. Completely closing down parts of 195 where it's near the highway. That's definitely a moving sight to see.  :salute
