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. |

May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we hold in our highest honor a true hero who answered the call to duty, performing a selfless act to serve his country. Thank You. THANK YOU.

The weather last Saturday was wonderful for the dedication of this LTBF
Memorial. We had about 17 riders to start at the IR VFW where we
initially staged, but I did notice about 4-6 other riders show up at
the Memorial site. The community did seem to come out and support this
event. I would like to thank Terry and Cheryl Blaskowski for honoring
us with there presence at this event. The Boy Scouts were present as
well as local veterans organizations. Skip and Ginny did there usual
excellent work in all that is needed for a project of this scope. I did
meet some of the Paton Family and they were very appreciative of what
we were doing. In closing I would like to thank Justin's family for
inviting us to this meaningful event................
