----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to thank Jacob's family for inviting PGR to welcome home one of our finest!!! The last pic is of the group, and a great pic, IMHO. Let me know if you'd like a larger version....

Now it gets interesting... I've been on "clandestine" missions, but this one impressed me, mom and son did not know there would be a big welcome!!! Mom's sis made the arrangements!!

Lots of surprises!! GBG And to their credit they took it well and enjoyed the group. The Blue Star Moms were there also, If I missed anyone, please forgive.

Also please forgive me of some of the pics, they are not the best, that little round knob sometimes get bumped, sigh...




So we are gathering and getting to know folks... the lady with the poster had contacts with the American Flag on them! You looked into her eyes and saw the flag, real nice!!!


Just taking pics...Dave and Mireya on the right...


Lots of excitement! Folks having a great time in anticipation of arrival.




Jacob getting hugs...


He's just taking this all in, he was stoked at the reception! It was a great welcome home!


Did I say hugs? Jacob got hugs!!! Navy even!! GBG Good on him!! He deserved all there was!!!


Did I say hugs??!! GBG


I'm so sorry this is fuzzy, but have to post it, some day I'll learn how to use a camera, and be able to see the dials, sigh All family, Grand parents on left and mom on the right, sons in the middle....


So after the meet and greet, we get back to the bikes to proceed to a wait point just before 87 for the family to come on by and honk us up!


Jacob had to rent a car and apparently there was a run on them, not a problem a very nice day and we just visited, and that was absolutely great! Nice folks!


So we make to Jacob's home, bikes lined up in front of his home...

More bikes


More visiting and saying HI!!!


Brian and Jacob talking....


So here we all are (not the Cranky guy behind the camera... GBG) and a darn nice pic!! A great ride and again, thank Sis for inviting us!!! GBG
