The Patriot Guard Riders have again been invited to attend the Memorial Day Ceremony being held at the Soldiers Memorial in Morrison, Colorado. This event is put on by the VFW, and will begin at 1100 (11:00am) on Memorial Day, 26 May 08. All that can attend are asked to make your own way to Morrison and park yourself where ever you can by 1030 (10:30 am). Should be done in plenty of time to then head over to Golden for the ceremony at the Marine Corp Memorial at 1400 (2:00pm).
Bob Zimmerman is the Ride Captain

| On behalf of a grateful nation, we honor and thank these heroes. They will never be forgotten. |

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease...
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea.
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still;
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free. |

| Some of us are already planning on breakfast in Morrison. Gets us there early to get parking spots before the event starts. Planning on going to the TnT, the restaurant on the south side on Morrison Rd that shares the parking lot with the Memorial. Breakfast will be at 0930 (9:30am), or a few are meeting at the Soloman's shop in Golden to ride over with me at 0900. If anybody needs directions to it, let me know. |

| Charger, I'll meet you at the shop at 09:00, then over to Morrison. Sorry Bob, I like the idea of having a parking space at the event, though I do enjoy your company! :~) TOM |
