We are standing by to make the ride as soon as we find out the gathering place. We respect and give honor to those in the military who give so much so we can be free. May God comfort the family and friends of LCpl Rush.

Sounds good. Where do you want to meet?
I was taking 77. I can jump off and meet you at any exit. Just name a place and time!!
Anyone else want to hook up to ride down???

Dave

I am hobbled with gout at this time, if it eases up enough to ride by thursday, and if I can sweet talk my boss out of that day of work you can pick me up at I-77 exit 73 (Stone Creek exit) on your way down. We can meet at the gas station that is about 1/10th mile off the exit.
I'll confirm my ride status and meet up time wednesday.

Anyone caging from Cleveland area? I will be unable to make this mission, but I have 12 flags to loan, 3x5 on 10-ft poles (break down to 5-ft lengths). E-mail me if you want and can take them on the mission.

Eternal rest grant unto LCpl Benjamin Rush, an American hero.

I hope you understand that we do have Civilian's and Vets of other service's alike. I do not know if I had seen where a Marine was refering to himself as a Soldier. But it is perfectly understandable for those not in the know to do so. It is just a gratefull recognition to someone who is/has served, from those who have not.
Coming from a Sailor, I have been called a Soldier in the past, and I am sure I will again. It doesn't bother me one bit, as long as used respectfuly.
