I want to start this post off by showing this patch. When we went to leave Meers after eating lunch, a soldier in uniform walked up to me. He had apparently seen the PGR sticker I have on my windshield. He asked if I was a Patriot Guard Rider (http://www.patriotguard.org/). When I told him that I was, he took his unit patch off of the right breast of his uniform & handed it to me. He said he wanted me to have it and that they appreciated what we did. So, needless to say I was moved and rendered speechless. I thanked him for the sacrifices he & the others make for our freedom and then we left. I would like everyone that reads my blog to remember to keep the men & women in uniform, in their prayers daily, for their safety & safe return home from where ever they are sent. Like it or not, we would not have the freedom that we have, if it weren't for these soldiers and others before them. A fact a lot of American's seem to forget lately..
We met at the Braums in Burkburnett Texas at 0815 hrs with ksu at 0830 hrs. Pictured are Lacy, Steve & Clint. Christina had a Dr. appointment and caught up with us at the Medicine Park exit off of I-44, just North of Lawton/Ft. Sill Oklahoma

It was 106 degrees on the way home & Lacy was feeling every degree. We had to stop over and wet her down with cold water & cold bandana's. There was no shade to be found where we we at..But she made it home and I talked to Steve and after Lacy got to cooling off in the air conditioning, she felt better..Had me worried though..
This will conclude this post. Other than being too hot on the way home, this was a good ride & I had fun & got to know everyone a little better. Scroll down for more rides/events & posts and don't forget to click on the "older posts" link on the bottom of EACH page for even more, back to Jan 08. Until next ride, event or post, ya'll be careful out there & ride safe.........................JOHN
