FNG Story:
Veteran, U. S. Army Federal Republic of Germany 1965-69. Veteran, Mississippi National Guard, 20th Special Forces (Airborne) 1969-72. Biker: at age 60. First T- shirt I remember seeing on a biker: “If I have to explain, You wouldn’t understand.”
Since my Run For The Wall ’09: I would venture this saying instead: “I still cannot understand, so I won’t explain.” Yes, even as a veteran, I was so honored to be with so many who got in harms way, and survived, and grew, and healed, and helped others to heal and lent their shoulders and their words and their silence too. And now, they, we, together as bikers first and patriots also, we rode in formation and all I could do was let the wind erase my tears and dry my eyes as I thought, as I knew, that all those motorists who passed our 3 to 5 mile long parade up the Interstate were also in awe of such a dedicated group of Americans. Yes, dedicated to a show of support and reverence for all those who went before us and served, and died, and all for the cause that is our great Country. May God continue to Bless the USA.
