WELCOME HOME, MARINE!!!
I am ever so grateful for your service and your devotion to our nation.
{{HUGS}} to you!
I was visiting friends in Livermore this weekend and knew it was the PGR when I saw a bunch of bikes with flags flying getting on the 580 last night. I'm SO glad to learn that it was a Welcome Home Mission...not one, but two! Can't ask for a better day than that! |
