We had a short notice welcome home so I thought I'd better make it as maybe not many would show up... 20 bikes! Outstanding! Thanks to all that ride! You make the difference!
A pic of some of the bikes...
The group meeting...
We get to the airport..
Nice line of bikes!
Here we are lurking in the hallway! GBG (Great Big Grin) We had quite a few troops come thru! We cheered them and saluted and gave them a great welcome home! Finally our "target" came thru and he shook all our hands.. then slapped Dad!!! It was a friendly slap!!! GBG There was a big hug behind it! He was very happy with the welcome home ride, we heard later.
It was a nice ride and traffic was kind to us. We were in rush hour, and it all flowed quite nice!
Bikes parked everywhere.. we were very quiet coming into the neighborhood.... har...
We are all gathering at home...
Rich (red cap) was telling Matt about our "requirements", he has to accept a pin, a hug, Chappi was there and offered a prayer, and of course, the group pic!
And we had another bonus! Matt's brother was a two time sandbox Marine, Rich is Marine and that could NOT go without notice! He never got his welcome home, so today was his day! We all gave him the same hugs, and love we gave for Matt and all that return!
My last pic of the group talking it up after the group pics... Moose is chatting with Rich. Very good mission! Thanks to the Bertron family for inviting us! It was a pleasure and honor to be there!
