We got the men of 3rd Bn. 25th Marines safely delivered to their Post in Brook Park and received a great Thank You and appreciations from the C.O. and 1st Sgt. Chapman. The C.O. is from W.Va. and had hoped to talk with the "Mountaineers" but understood how you could not make the whole trip but sends his Thanks and appreciation to all those who assisted in this Send Off mission. My Thanks also to all those who participated.
Ron and Joe, glad to be of assistance.

| As for the first part of this escort mission, we proceeded to the armory with 7 bikes and 1 support vehicle. We stood our flag line outside until these fine Marines boarded their bus. They and their families were so thankful to us for being there. We met the Ohio contingent about halfway, and Ohio took "our" Marines on in to their destination point. My thanks to Ralph and all of Ohio for helping us complete this mission. It's good to have good "neighbors" when it comes to doing a mission such as this. Thank you all. To the 18 members of 3rd Bn., 25th Marines; God be with you and good luck. Can't wait for your return.
Ride safe,
