Happy Veteran's Day!!!!!!!

We are extremely Patriotic in our home. My Husband Bill and I have both served in our Armed Forces. Bill is a VFW and I am so proud to be married to a brave Soldier of this Amazing country. We have tried to raise our children with a great respect for the United States and its Warriors. I knew when Kade came down this morning with his GI Joe's boots, gun and helmet in hand and displayed the fallen soldiers memorial,that he has a good amount of knowledge and respect for our Heroes.
Kinzi lead a Beautiful tribute to our Veterans. Bill and I LOVED their performance. It filled our hearts with pride and joy.

We went to downtown Charleston to the Veteran's Day parade. Here Kade is decorating the street with flags that we brought from home. He is dressed like a little soldier. He caught all the soldiers attention that were marching in the parade. They loved seeing him out there, as they enjoyed seeing everyone out there.
It was a GREAT Parade.
We thanked the soldiers as they passed our family.
The nostalgic details were amazing. Old jeeps, uniforms and check this guy out with his cigar. The best Veteran's Day Parade that we have ever attended. Great support cheering for the procession. We were so happy to have been apart of it.
As the motorcycles passed, the trumpets blared and the formations marched in cadence, Kade would ask us, "do you feel it?" and BOY DID WE!!!!!



Some of our POW's. What stories they could tell. "Thank you so much HEROES!!!!"
This was a very moving tribute to the 9 firefighters that recently lost their lives trying to save another. They are called the Charleston 9.
All gave some, some gave all.
It amazes me to see the determination of this country's heroes. It was a long route for these men, in very heavy clothing and the age of these men were "up there" but they were determined to honor the Veteran. I could not keep my eyes dry. It was emotion filled. We need to instill that same pride in the youth of today.
God Bless Him.
Look at those medals!!!!!

Could not be a better name, Honor Guard. What an Honor to walk the streets of this country having stood on foreign soil to protect this Great Land. We Honor You!!!

Patriot Guard Riders Mission Statement

The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.

We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.

Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives.

1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.

2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.

We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.

To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.



God Bless America!!!!!!
