Nice post 53. Makes you want to stand up and salute somebody.

My hat goes off to all that have served, made sacrifices and paid with the ultimate price ...

Yesterday evening, regretfully the penalty box received a visitor for an undetermined amount of time.

I am a very patient, fair and tolerant person ... there comes a time when enough is enough.

This website is a brotherhood, as of late I have been extremely busy and off the website but have selected 4 great moderators to carry the torch while I am not here. The 4 moderators have graciously volunteered to keep the harmony and I am grateful.

Please feel free to send me a Private Message if you feel some one is out of line.

Please ride safe, Phantom

I knew when I was 12, I was going in the military. I never took a college SAT test in High school. Entered the Air Force about 6 months after graduating from High School. Served from 1976-1999. This weekend I rode with about 500 bikes to Bushnell National Cemetary in Florida. I payed my respects to those that paid the ultimate price, over 100,000 headstones mark their final resting place. As I waited there in the hot Florida sun a girl scout walked up and offered me a bottle of water. I asked her why she was out there and her reply was " my grandfather is buried in section 402 and this is the least I can do to honor those who gave us this country". As long as we remember and teach those that don't understand it's not National Bar-B-Q day the lost will not be for nothing.

We buried my uncle there, 5 months ago, a highly decorated Korean War vet...also my favorite uncle !!! My father was inflicted with cancer during two tours of Vietnam and later died as a result. I, myself wore a policeman's uniform until retirement... NO ONE is more upset as to the way the original thread went...so be it. This Great Country can out live all that have tried to ruin her we can over come one sour polish emigrant.

While in Florida this past winter I had the opportunity to visit the Bushnell National Cemetery. Several rider friends and I took a slow walk/ride along the manicured drive ways to observe the row upon row of Dress Right Dress placed head stones. It was a humbling and somber reminder of those who gave it all to assure us our freedoms and those of others. As adults and parents we have a obligation to our young to have them visit the sacred ground of out fallen heroes. They may get a better perspective of what Freedom really cost. A bowed head and silent prayer does wonders for the soul!
