Back home! This was a very uplifting mission. CWO Donald Wann's daugther, was there to fly back to Tulsa with him, to finally be laid to rest. Great stuff. We had the privilage of standing an honor line as his coffin was loaded on the airplane. It was somehow appropriate that it started a light sprinkle of rain as the coffin was loaded on the ramp to the cargo hold of the aircraft. The rain stopped when the coffin was inside the cargo hold. Just can't make this stuff up. God Bless and protect our Troops and their families. Thank you Father for bringing one of ours back home.
Thank you all for the comments, it is the pleasure and honor of all the Patriot Guard Rider's to
"Stand for those who stood for us"
Fred, look at
http://www.patriotguard.org it is the national site. There you will be able to find a local chapter you can ride in. You don't need to wait for retirement. We have several active duty riders in the North Texas chapter. It is pretty easy, just find your local chapter, show up for a mission and go home. Other than a release needed on your first mission, nothing to sign, nothing to buy and no minimum attendence is required (you don't even have to have a motorcycle). But, after the first one you will do many!!! If you have any questions, just ask!
