&I,
What a sight, riding in the pack, seeing you out front leading the way with your huge Americam flag flying.
I whole heartedly agree that all of you that came today are true AMERICAN PATRIOTS.
What a humbling way to celebrate the Fourth Of July.
GOD BLESS HM Burnett, family and friends.

| WOW, to all who showed up....THANK YOU. Not exactly "THE FOURTH OF JULY" that is usually imagined, but this day and this group of people impressed a lot of people.
I would like to say thank you to Gunny, for another outstanding job of keeping everyone informed, as much as possible.
Gunny your lucky we have John Nanny & I(Nettie) on your team, they did an excellant job of getting the word out on what we were supposed to do.
We are also very lucky that the members of the PGR can follow instructions without to much debate. Way to go PGR.
Primo, Thanks for stepping up and taking lead on the Road Guard coordination and a hugh thanks to the road guards for doing a most excellent job and making our ride safe.
Finally to the FREEWAY GROUP...Thanks for your patience, we mantained a slower clip to keep the group tight,safe and as promiised to the Highway Patrol.
And I can't forget the importance of the cages that were present to deliever water, flags or loud music...THANKS ALL.
Thanks to the FAMILY to allow us all to attend this HONORED occasion.
R/C John thanks for allowing me to assist, you did a great job.

WoW! What a Mission. The 3rd: It was awesome meeting Corpsman Dustin Burnette's family. What a great family they were. One of the members of the family even pumped my gas for me! Thank you John, Gunny, Candy, Primo and all the other Road Guards for keeping us all safe. John and Gunny you were awesome with the planning.
The 4th:Thanks Desert Ratz for meeting me at the 62. Nettie finally caught up with us after working an all night shift. I am so Proud to be a part of all of you.
The Fourth Of July was perfect. I was amazed at the Navy for Bussing in a large group of Navy Service Men in their Dress Whites. I wouldn't have wanted to have done anything else this 4th. It was very moving and will be a great memory for me. What greater way to spend the Fourth Of July Honoring such a great YOUNG HERO. He has a loving family and I saw their strength and I know they will continue on being strong. God Bless America the greatest Country in th World. |

And to present arms in respect.....the Navy in attendance & on the Honor Guard were very, very sharp indeed.
A solemn day of thought for me, as Independance Day should be.....and ridin back to Dago gave time to calm te turmoil.....i would like to have a dogtag from this mission, if possible..

I couldn't help but notice the sweet little lady blowing us kisses as we drove off. I am very proud to be a part of this wonderful family we all call the PGR ! |

| Afternoon Bob, It was also my great honor to not only ride with you, but with all our Patriots that day. Riding with Patriots like you just makes the Heat go away while we ride for these Hero's. I know just what you meant by not going down... I don't know if any of us had a dry eye. I've also always thought of Vets & Riders as being Great People, But when you have all three mixed together, well, Your almost in Heaven! Ride Safe my friend and we'll see you soon.... |
